utils: make API key generator more random
The API key generator abused temporary filenames in what seems to be an attempt
of creating keys that unambiguously specified the user and thus were unique
across users. A final hashing did however remove that property.
More importantly, tempfile is not documented to use secure random numbers ...
and it only uses 6 characters, giving approximately 36 bits of entropy.
Instead, use the cryptographically secure os.urandom directly to generate keys
with the same length but with the full 160 bits of entropy.
Reported and fixed by Andrew Bartlett.

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 Anitivirus. Make sure
you have installed the latest Windows patches (especially KB2789397).
