Closes #134.

What this does

Adds an unauthorized_urls map, the third beside error_urls and not_found_urls, built from a <NAME>_UNAUTHORIZED_URL suffix and settable per service through a proxy.unauthorized-url=<url> tag, and uses it on the not authorized response.

The not authorized response was the one case #133 deliberately left out, on the grounds that it carries a WWW-Authenticate challenge and so reports an authentication prompt rather than an outage. That reasoning does not hold for a password protected host that end users reach: the body of the response is exactly what they see once the credentials dialog is dismissed, or when the credentials are refused.

The resolution of the error URL already sat above the authentication block, since #133 hoisted it above the endpoint check, so the response only needed the value passed to it. Falling back to the error URL keeps a single page usable for every response for anyone who wants that.

What is deliberately unchanged

The status code stays 401 and the WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="default" header is still sent, so the user agent still prompts for credentials and only the body of the response is replaced. A test asserts both, and another asserts that an accepted authentication never answers with a page at all, so the request still reaches the back-end as it would with no authentication configured.

Tests

Added alongside the existing ones, following the same helpers and assertion style:

  • test/extra/proxy_r.py - the builder (default key, dashed variant, and no cross matching against the _ERROR_URL and _NOT_FOUND_URL suffixes), the on_serve reading, the 401 with no page, with the error page, with the not authorized page and with a host specific entry, the challenge header and status being preserved, an accepted authentication reaching the back-end, the echo dump and the instance isolation of the new map
  • test/extra/proxy_c.py - the tag, the empty tag, the cleanup across poll cycles, and the debug dump
  • test/extra/proxy_d.py - the builder through the Docker variables

This file had no coverage of the not authorized path at all before, so the plain body behaviour is now pinned as well as the new one.

Verification

  • 2068 passed, 9 skipped
  • black --check clean over all 345 files
  • mypy.stubtest reports no issues in 132 modules on Python 3.14, with the stub updated
  • 100% statement and branch coverage of the changed lines (32/32), measured with coverage run -m pytest and the repository .coveragerc

Rollout

Not urgent. The intent is to let this ride along with the next change that already requires a lets-logic and multi-logic rebuild, rather than spend a proxy restart on it by itself.

Walkthrough

The reverse proxy now supports configured unauthorized pages. Framed error pages receive status and reason query parameters. Configured upstream-error pages use generic text instead of backend exception text.

Changes: Proxy error-page handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
HTTP iframe URL parameters
src/netius/servers/http.py, src/netius/servers/http.pyi, src/netius/test/servers/http.py
HTTP page-building methods accept optional parameters and append sorted, URL-encoded values to iframe URLs. Existing queries and fragments are preserved. Tests cover parameter handling and positional calls.
Unauthorized-page URL configuration
src/netius/extra/proxy_r.py, src/netius/extra/proxy_r.pyi, src/netius/extra/proxy_c.py, src/netius/extra/proxy_d.py, src/netius/test/extra/proxy_r.py, src/netius/test/extra/proxy_c.py, src/netius/test/extra/proxy_d.py
Reverse proxy configuration loads unauthorized URLs from environment settings. Consul service tags and Docker configuration also build these mappings. Tests cover host-name variants, cleanup, logging, and configuration isolation.
Proxy response page handling
src/netius/extra/proxy_r.py, src/netius/servers/proxy.py, src/netius/test/extra/proxy_r.py, CHANGELOG.md
Unauthorized and not-found responses pass status and reason parameters to configured pages. Upstream-error pages use generic text when configured; unframed errors retain the exception message. Tests cover response behavior and page selection.

Explanation

[#134] The reverse proxy builds and resolves unauthorized_urls with error URL fallback. Consul tags and Docker configuration populate the map. Tests cover configuration, host precedence, denied and accepted authentication, and preservation of the 401 status and challenge.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

[#134] The PR adds status and reason query parameters to 404 and 403 page URLs. It also replaces upstream exception text in framed 500 responses with Internal Error. These changes affect other response paths and are not needed to configure the 401 body. Repository diffs were unavailable; this conclusion uses the whole-PR summary.

Resolution

Remove the unrelated 404, 403, and 500 behavior changes, or provide an applicable scope requirement for them.

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 10.34% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 29 functions across 11 files.

- Add a not authorized URL map, settable per service by a consul tag,
  falling back to the error one so a single page may still cover both
- Keep the status and the challenge header untouched, so the user agent
  still asks for the credentials and only the body is replaced
)

* feat: pass the status code and the reason to the framed error page

- Encode the context of the response onto the framed URL, keeping any
  query string the configured URL already carries and sorting the keys
- Hand over the status phrase on the up-stream error, so the text of the
  back-end exception no longer reaches the page URL nor its title

* fix: keep the builder signatures and the fragment intact

- Move the context argument to the end of the page builders, so a call
  that passes the existing options by position keeps its behaviour
- Place the parameters before any fragment, as they belong to the query

Review of PR #135, after 70f5fd4 and 2b6444b

  • Read AGENTS.md and the diff against origin/master
  • Check the commits pushed since the last review (70f5fd4, 2b6444b)
  • Verify the findings against the surrounding code
  • Post inline comments and the summary

One new finding, Low. The code changes since the last round are correct.

Findings

Severity Where Finding
Low (changelog) CHANGELOG.md:22-23 70f5fd4 fixes the <NAME>_ERROR_URL and <NAME>_NOT_FOUND_URL pages being dropped for Consul-managed hosts from the second poll on. 1.65.0 already ships that bug, but the Fixed section has no entry for it. There's an inline suggestion.

Checked and found correct

  • _build_hosts in proxy_c.py: the environment is re-applied after the cleanup and before _apply_tags. The tags still win, and the environment value comes back once the tag is gone. self.env defaults to False (base/server.py:72), so the existing tests that call _build_hosts never read the environment.
  • The three suffixes: _UNAUTHORIZED_URL doesn't end in _ERROR_URL or _NOT_FOUND_URL, so they can't cross-match, and name[:-17] strips the right length.
  • Escaping in _gen_iframe: inside a double-quoted attribute, only " and & need handling. & is escaped first, so the %22 written for a quote can't be escaped twice. The doc example now shows &amp; and says which URL the browser actually requests.
  • _build_url: it runs on 2.7 and 3.x through legacy.items and legacy.urlencode. params is the last argument of build_data, build_iframe and _gen_iframe, so positional callers are unaffected, and there are tests for that.
  • Stubs: http.pyi and proxy_r.pyi follow the source order.
  • Tests: they sit in implementation order and cover the error paths: no page, fallback to the error page, the host entry, the challenge header kept, authentication accepted, and the env-off case.
  • Line endings: every changed .py and .pyi file is still CRLF only, and setup.py is unchanged.

Threads that are already resolved or were declined (the constructor position, the fallback default, the escaping) aren't raised again.

Pre-existing, outside this PR

The cleanup loop in ConsulProxyServer._build_hosts (proxy_c.py:152-158) also drops values for a Consul-managed host that came from the constructor or proxy.json. 70f5fd4 only restores the environment ones. For auth this fails open:

  • Take ConsulProxyServer(auth={"myapp": netius.SimpleAuth(...)}), where the myapp service has no proxy.password tag.
  • From the second poll on, self.auth.pop("myapp") removes the entry and nothing puts it back.
  • Requests then reach the back-end with no credentials, about one poll interval after startup.

error_urls, not_found_urls, unauthorized_urls and redirect passed the same way are lost the same way. This predates the branch and shouldn't block it, but it's worth its own issue. I traced it by reading the code.

Not done

I couldn't run Python in this job: pytest needs approval, so neither the suite nor black --check ran. Everything above comes from reading the code.

Preserve the constructor’s positional arguments

An existing positional forward value now binds to unauthorized_urls. A URL string causes dict() to raise during initialization. Accept unauthorized_urls by keyword without consuming a positional argument, and update the stub to match.
