These changes mostly revolve around the change in ObjectId constructor
when running on Python 3.6. Where on 2.7 the constructor would accept
12- and 24-byte strings, now only 12-byte bytes and 24-character strings
are accepted. Good thing, but required some changes in our code.
Other changes include hashing of strings, which isn't supported, so they
are converted to bytes first, and sometimes converted back afterwards.
The 'manual fixups' are:
- incorrect use of dict.items() where dict.iteritems() was meant; this
results in list(dict.items()), which I changed to dict.items().
- removal of 'from __future__ import' lines, which 2to3 changes into
empty lines; I removed the empty lines.
We introduce two new classes StorageBackend and FileInStorage, which
are subclassed by CGS and local Pillar. This makes supporting multiple
storage solutions easier.
Instead, the size of the entire HTTP request body is checked against the
maximum file size. This allows for slightly smaller files (in the order
of 200-300 bytes), which shouldn't be noticeable given our 32 MiB limit
for non-subscribers. This check is performed before accessing
request.files[], and thus before the file even starts uploading.
This also allows unlimited file uploads to subscribers and demo users.
This was already possible using the API, so now the web interface is
consistent. Limits can be set using config[_local].py.
This closes T49264: Allow large uploads for admins
