Rate limiting changes (#2519)
* Rate limiting changes

This makes the following changes:

* For logged in users, the rate limiting now applies to the device session rather than the remote IP address;
* For non-logged in users, the rate limiting continues to apply to remote address as it does today;
* It is now possible to add user IDs to the `exempt_user_ids` option under `rate_limiting` to exclude bots from rate limiting;
* Admin and appservice users are now exempt from rate limiting by default.

* Fix build with media API

This component roughly corresponds to "Client Room Send" and "Client Sync" on the WIRING diagram. This component produces multiple binaries.

Internals

  • HTTP routing is done using gorilla/mux and the routing paths are in the routing package.

Writers

  • Each HTTP "write operation" (/createRoom, /rooms/$room_id/send/$type, etc) is contained entirely to a single file in the writers package.
  • This file contains the request and response struct definitions, as well as a Validate() bool function to validate incoming requests.
  • The entry point for each write operation is a stand-alone function as this makes testing easier. All dependencies should be injected into this function, including server keys/name, etc.
