This change properly handles symlinks by expanding any it finds in the path
and issuing a redirect to the canonical location.
Whilst we're here, display links as such on the pages, sort directory listings
so the parent link is always at the top, and avoid unnecessary redirects caused
by missing /'s on URLs.
Just send the user an API error and they can try again. Better than
internal server error + email to webmaster... Seems to be caused by
intermittent network issues.
Previous code triggered a conversion from unicode to ascii inside the
django framework, which would throw an exception when the object itself
returned unicode in the name.
The new version will work around that by actually checking the primary
key first.
This still doesn't work insofar that any changes to a many2many fields
are now lost. This did not work properly before either, but this
probably made it a bit work. We definitely need to fix this properly at
some point, probably by using the m2m_changed signal handler (but it's
not straight forward as this is now a separate signal and we'll somehow
want to track this indepdendently)
We have so many users now that loading these forms take forever.
Instead, implement a textbox with autocomplete using django-selectable,
which will not load the whole list of users at once.
This one will validate that the url is under /accounts/, which is
the only part we are going to be excluding from caching once we
move the website to https-only.
Per discussion from a long time ago, interactive docs aren't really
working out. The majority of submissions are either support questions
(which then get rejected because they cannot be answered in this
context) or pointing out docs incorrectnesses (which should be submitted
as a docs bug instead, so they can actually be fixed in the main
documentation).
Old references to /interactive/ will get redirected to /static/
automatically, and we expect to keep doing that for a long time (since
there are many links to them around the net).
The pwn module has never been used, as the pwn are simply sent to
-announce and nothing else. We've kept the code and model around for
doing it on the site for years now and it's unused, so let's remove it
to cut down on maintenance cost.
1. ForeignKey with unique -> OneToOneField
2. IPAddressField -> GenericIPAddressField
3. Fix fields with default=datetime.now() which gives server start time,
not the insert time (clearly this default was never used, and the
field was always explicitly set, but it should still not be incorrectly
defined)
