This commit changes `DiscourseIpInfo.mmdb_download` to use `File.join`
instead of `URI.join` when `GlobalSetting.maxmind_mirror_url` has been
configured. This is necessary because `URI.join` does not work the way I
expect it to work when I implemented it previously.
`URI.join("http://www.example.com/mirror", "test.tar.gz") results in
`http://www.example.com/test.tar.gz` instead of our expected
`http://www.exmaple.com/mirror/test.tar.gz`. For our simple use case
here, `File.join` is sufficient.
Why this change?
This allows downloading the MaxMind databases from a mirror in cases
where downloading directly from MaxMind's API endpoint is problematic
due to API limits.
Reverts
- DEV: maxmind license checking failing tests #24534
- UX: Show if MaxMind key is missing on IP lookup #18993
These changes are leading to surprising results, our logs are now filling up with warnings on dev environments
We need the change to be redone
This improves the implementation of #18993
1. Error message displayed to user is clearer
2. open_db will also be called, even if license key is blank, as it was previously
3. This in turn means no need to keep stubbing 'maxmind_license_key'
Previously we had the ability to download a simple .gz file
new changes mean we have a a tar.gz file that needs some levels
of fiddling to get extracted correctly
MaxMind now requires an account with a license key to download files.
Discourse admins can register for such an account at:
https://www.maxmind.com/en/geolite2/signup
License key generation is available in the profile section.
Once registered you can set the license key using `DISCOURSE_MAXMIND_LICENSE_KEY`
This amends it so we unconditionally skip MaxMind DB downloads if no license key exists.
This also corrects FileHelper.download so it supports "follow_redirect"
correctly (it used to always follow 1 redirect) and adds a `validate_url`
param that will bypass all uri validation if set to false (default is true)
This new `DISCOURSE_MAXMIND_BACKUP_PATH` can be used a secondary location
for maxmind db. That way a build machine, for example can cache it on the
host and reuse between builds.
Also per 5bfeef77 added proper error raising for download fails from
dedicated rake task
This also moves "refresh_maxmind_db_during_precompile_days" to a global
setting, it did not make sense in a site setting
