Now, the `Client.do_api_query()` method supports sending files to the
API.
This has allowed the implementation of a new method,
`Client.upload_file(file)`. It simply uploads the file set in the
parameter, and returns the API's response (that includes the URI).
Despite the fact that `do_api_query()` supports multiple files as
parameters, `upload_file()` doesn't, because right now the API isn't
capable of managing more than a file in the same request.
We used to create endpoints with Client._register.
Now we now have explicit methods for the endpoints.
This allows us to add docstrings and stricter mypy annotations.
This fix also introduces a call_endpoint() method that avoids
the need for manually building urls with API_VERSTRING when you
know the URL pattern of the endpoint you want to hit (and when
the API doesn't have a convenient wrapper).
I fixed a bug with create_users where it now uses PUT instead
of POST.
I also removed client.export(), which was just broken.
I had to change recent-messages and zulip-export, which were
using client.do_api_query and Client._register.
Now it's easier to just call client.call_endpoint() for
situations where our API doesn't have convenient wrappers,
so that's what I did with those scripts.
Note that we still can't run mypy against this file and other files,
because of how the interface is dynamically created via _register. We
will need to change that or use a stub file to make it possible to
annotate this.
This was tweaked by tabbott to fix some bugs.
Add default "http://" to site argument locally if it is not specified
in an api call.
This fixes a problem where if you didn't manually specify `http://`
when connecting to a development server, the API bindings would hang
trying to connect using HTTPS.
Stops defaulting the site parameter to the now-nonexistent
https://zulip.com, and ask the user to enter the site via --site or
~/.zuliprc if not provided.
Fixes#2039.
This adds support for passing a client cert (in the format expected by the
`requests` library) to the `Client` constructor, as well as for specifying
one on the command line or in .zuliprc (through new `client_cert` and
`client_cert_key` options).
The --insecure option ("insecure=true" in .zuliprc) disables
verification entirely, similar to other tools like curl.
The --cert_bundle ("cert_bundle=<file>" in .zuliprc) allows
a file to be specified containing the CA certificates to verify
against.
When using self-signed certificates, the server's public key
can be used as the only cerificate in the file.
This change incidentally fixes an issue where the "site" parameter
in .zuliprc was ignored when specifying --user and --api-key on
the command line.
Fixes: #104
Meant to be used in tandem with the manage.py import command.
The following sensitive data is scrubbed:
* user api keys
* user password hashes
* stream email keys
* invite-only streams
* messages from invite-only streams
* messages from users from other domains

We ran into this in the zephyr_mirror.
(imported from commit 80fade2274714b7c2c4b9fe38c66a1db8cc63234)
The idea here is that for usages like in the zephyr mirror bot:
backoff = RandomExponentialBackoff()
while backoff.keep_going():
print "Starting zephyr mirroring bot"
try:
subprocess.call(args)
except:
traceback.print_exc()
backoff.fail()
we want it to be the case that the mirror bot running for a while counts as a
success so that the bot doesn't have a finite number of crashes over its entire
lifetime. We only want the mirror bot to stop retrying if it fails too many
times in a row.

This will allow us to substantially decrease the server-side work that
we do to support our Mirroring systems (since the personal mirrors can
request only messages that user sent) and also is what we need to
support a single-stream Zulip widget that we embed in webpages.

This way command-line scripts that use our `optparse` populator can
still specify a custom client without munging their `parser` object.
(imported from commit df8d28a46a4d4574523b106030dbfed2d9ac931e)
We previously sent our client type to the server as a GET/POST parameter
of "client=<something>", most commonly "client=API: Python".
We switch here to providing the same information as a User-agent header
sent on each request, which is more standards-compliant.
Also added is some data about the platform the user is using. If your
client string was set to "MyLittleZulip/1.0", the resultant string could
look something like this:
MyLittleZulip/1.0 (Ubuntu; 12.04)
