Patch works but synapse has some strict tests that are failing, can't find where the tests referencing perl are so not much I can do.

It looks like linting is failing, you should be able to run black (or scripts-dev/lint.sh) and it should fix it for you.

@clokep The actual fails relate to the media api tests, it's just the change I tried making that's causing the lint fail. I'm not too familiar with poetry so I'd appreciate some help from a more experienced synapse contributor with fixing the tests so this can get merged in.

Does this also force downloading of things like PDFs? I know that users do appreciate the ability to click on the PDF and have it open in a browser tab.

@erikjohnston Yes. Adding a mimetype whitelist would fix that, however would also complicate the PR. The current media tests only really make sense for a single disposition type, so supporting both inline and attachment would require most of the tests to be rewritten or changed.

I tested this in Firefox and Element Web.

What I observed:

  • both before and after this change, if you click on a PDF attachment (in an unencrypted room) in Element Web, the PDF is downloaded and opened in a browser tab (using default settings for PDF handling in Firefox) — the downloaded copy is what is opened (via file:/// URI).
  • before this change, accessing a PDF file directly https://syn1:8448/_matrix/media/v3/download/syn1/DCwMApqkfYSGtJSmpiJgXkiw would open it inline
  • after this change, accessing a PDF file directly as above does the same as what Element Web does: the PDF is downloaded and Firefox opens the PDF in a new tab via file:///.

What's crucially notable is that Element Web was unaffected.
I am ignoring the IRC bridging concern because I'm not familiar, but I guess that would hit the difference noted in points 2 and 3.

Given the security benefit, I don't see anything that should put us off here.

The only things I can see blocking us from taking this right now:

Other than that I think it would be fine?
