auth: add AuthUser.is_anonymous, along with some exposition
This reveals the name of the NotAnonymous decorator to be misleading,
an unfortunate detail only documented here, but which must be properly
resolved in a later changeset.
Note that NotAnonymous behaves as advertised as long as it is used
together with LoginRequired, which is always the case in the current
code, so there's no actual security issue here, the code is just weird,
hard to read and fragile.
---
Some thoughts on cleaning this up in a future changeset: As it turns
out, every controller (except the login page!) should be LoginRequired
decorated (since it doesn't actually block anonymous users, as long as
anonymous access is enabled in the Kallithea config). Thus the most
obvious solution would be to move the LoginRequired functionality into
BaseController (with an override for LoginController), and delete the
decorator entirely. However, LoginRequired does one other thing: it
carries information about whether API access is enabled for individual
controller methods ("@LoginRequired(api_key=True)"), and also performs
the check for this, something which is not easily moved into the base
controller class, since the base controller doesn't know which method is
about to be called. Possibly that can be determined by poking Pylons,
but such code is likely to break with the upcoming TurboGears 2 move.
Thus such cleanup is probably better revisited after the switch to TG2.

Troubleshooting
===============
:Q: **Missing static files?**
:A: Make sure either to set the ``static_files = true`` in the .ini file or
double check the root path for your http setup. It should point to
for example:
``/home/my-virtual-python/lib/python2.7/site-packages/kallithea/public``
|
:Q: **Can't install celery/rabbitmq?**
:A: Don't worry. Kallithea works without them, too. No extra setup is required.
Try out the great Celery docs for further help.
|
:Q: **Long lasting push timeouts?**
:A: Make sure you set a longer timeout in your proxy/fcgi settings. Timeouts
are caused by the http server and not Kallithea.
|
:Q: **Large pushes timeouts?**
:A: Make sure you set a proper ``max_body_size`` for the http server. Very often
Apache, Nginx, or other http servers kill the connection due to to large
body.
|
:Q: **Apache doesn't pass basicAuth on pull/push?**
:A: Make sure you added ``WSGIPassAuthorization true``.
|
:Q: **Git fails on push/pull?**
:A: Make sure you're using a WSGI http server that can handle chunked encoding
such as ``waitress`` or ``gunicorn``.
|
:Q: **How can I use hooks in Kallithea?**
:A: It's easy if they are Python hooks: just use advanced link in
hooks section in Admin panel, that works only for Mercurial. If
you want to use Git hooks, just install th proper one in the repository,
e.g., create a file `/gitrepo/hooks/pre-receive`. You can also use
Kallithea-extensions to connect to callback hooks, for both Git
and Mercurial.
|
:Q: **Kallithea is slow for me, how can I make it faster?**
:A: See the :ref:`performance` section.
|
:Q: **UnicodeDecodeError on Apache mod_wsgi**
:A: Please read: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/deployment/wsgi/modwsgi/#if-you-get-a-unicodeencodeerror.
|
:Q: **Requests hanging on Windows**
:A: Please try out with disabled Antivirus software, there are some known problems with Eset Antivirus. Make sure
you have installed the latest Windows patches (especially KB2789397).
