Fix bug with managing redirection and keepAuthorization in Web cmdlets #18902

CarloToso · 2023-01-07T15:30:54Z

PR Summary

The current behaviour of if (keepAuthorization && IsRedirectCode(response.StatusCode) && response.Headers.Location is not null) is wrong, I tested it by setting keepAuthorization = true --> this sets handleRetirect = true --> and then sets handler.AllowAutoRedirect = false. Without sessionRedirect (we can choose a better name) it ignores the MaximumRedirection parameter.

Test: maunally set keepAuthorization = true before the if, then
Invoke-WebRequest "http://mockbin.org/redirect/308?to=https://mockbin.org/redirect/302?to=https://mockbin.org/status/200" -MaximumRedirection 0 -SkipHttpErrorCheck --> expected 308, result 200

Proposed fix -->

bool sessionRedirect = WebSession.MaximumRedirection > 0 || WebSession.MaximumRedirection == -1;
if (keepAuthorization  && sessionRedirect && IsRedirectCode(response.StatusCode) && response.Headers.Location is not null)

PR Context

Fix Bug, merge before #18546 and #18894

iSazonov · 2023-01-07T17:56:29Z

@CarloToso Can you enhance our helper test tool - WebListener - to cover the scenario? Currently it supports redirection but not take into account authorization header (I guess we could use -Authentication Bear?). WebListener could return the auth token as-is and we could add tests to check that the header is removed by default and isn't removed with PreserveAuthorizationOnRedirect.

I see only reason we do custom redirection processing is that we want to keep the auth header. So I suggest rename keepAuthorization and handleRedirect parameters to keepAuthorizationOnRedirect. This simplify understanding the code.

CarloToso · 2023-01-07T18:14:02Z

@iSazonov we also need to handle redirection for #18546 and #18894, I can change keepAuthorization to keepAuthorizationOnRedirect but i think handleRedirect should stay as it is.

I don't know much about the helper tool test but I can look into it

iSazonov · 2023-01-07T19:20:04Z

but i think handleRedirect should stay as it is.

It is the same as keepAuthorization - we assign keepAuthorization to handleRedirect - this mislead.

If we change it handleRedirect to keepAuthorization, it will be misleading after we add -PreserveHTTPMethodOnRedirect or -AllowInsicureRedirect. We could add something like this bool handleRedirect = keepAuthorizationOnRedirect || AllowInsicureRedirect || PreserveHTTPMethodOnRedirect

I don't see a problem here. As I said only reason we do manual redirect processing is that we want to keep auth header. So variable names should reflect to our intention. And comments could be updated too.

This reduces readability. 😕

CarloToso · 2023-01-10T22:39:56Z

@iSazonov It looks like there already are some tests that cover -PreserveAuthorizationOnRedirect

@iSazonov It looks like there already are some tests that cover -PreserveAuthorizationOnRedirect

Can you point these tests? I see there is Authorization controller but it doesn't cover redirection scenario.

CarloToso · 2023-01-11T12:17:38Z

@iSazonov I found the -PreserveAuthorizationOnRedirect parameter in WebCmdlet.Tests.ps1 and I think it covers this case

iSazonov · 2023-01-11T12:24:26Z

If the test is passed before the PR it is a broken test.

CarloToso · 2023-01-11T18:31:52Z

I think the tests are not broken, they just never checked for -MaximumRedirection + -PreserveAuthorizationOnRedirect

iSazonov

Please confirm that the new tests fail before the PR.

It seems PreserveAuthorizationOnRedirect.IsPresent should be on first place.

Why is AllowInsecureRedirect removed?

We merged #18546 without tests. Time to add tests for AllowInsecureRedirect

Added some tests #18939, AllowInsecureRedirect is in handleRedirect after this PR (line 1422)

pull-request-quantifier-deprecated · 2023-01-13T12:47:48Z

This PR has 47 quantified lines of changes. In general, a change size of upto 200 lines is ideal for the best PR experience!

Quantification details

Label      : Extra Small
Size       : +28 -19
Percentile : 18.8%

Total files changed: 2

Change summary by file extension:
.cs : +16 -17
.ps1 : +12 -2

Change counts above are quantified counts, based on the PullRequestQuantifier customizations.

Why proper sizing of changes matters

Optimal pull request sizes drive a better predictable PR flow as they strike a
balance between between PR complexity and PR review overhead. PRs within the
optimal size (typical small, or medium sized PRs) mean:

Fast and predictable releases to production:
- Optimal size changes are more likely to be reviewed faster with fewer
  iterations.
- Similarity in low PR complexity drives similar review times.
Review quality is likely higher as complexity is lower:
- Bugs are more likely to be detected.
- Code inconsistencies are more likely to be detected.
Knowledge sharing is improved within the participants:
- Small portions can be assimilated better.
Better engineering practices are exercised:
- Solving big problems by dividing them in well contained, smaller problems.
- Exercising separation of concerns within the code changes.

What can I do to optimize my changes

Use the PullRequestQuantifier to quantify your PR accurately
- Create a context profile for your repo using the context generator
- Exclude files that are not necessary to be reviewed or do not increase the review complexity. Example: Autogenerated code, docs, project IDE setting files, binaries, etc. Check out the Excluded section from your prquantifier.yaml context profile.
- Understand your typical change complexity, drive towards the desired complexity by adjusting the label mapping in your prquantifier.yaml context profile.
- Only use the labels that matter to you, see context specification to customize your prquantifier.yaml context profile.
Change your engineering behaviors
- For PRs that fall outside of the desired spectrum, review the details and check if:
  - Your PR could be split in smaller, self-contained PRs instead
  - Your PR only solves one particular issue. (For example, don't refactor and code new features in the same PR).

How to interpret the change counts in git diff output

One line was added: +1 -0
One line was deleted: +0 -1
One line was modified: +1 -1 (git diff doesn't know about modified, it will
interpret that line like one addition plus one deletion)
Change percentiles: Change characteristics (addition, deletion, modification)
of this PR in relation to all other PRs within the repository.
