The cached_endpoint decorator was detecting that the response content
kept changing, so it never returned 304. Oops. At the moment the client
doesn't even use this key, so if we need it back we can use the etag or
another http header.
The word caching can be ambiguous, and what's worse is this file
previously contained a decorator for server-side caching of a
response and a class for client-side caching of files. It was
confusing. This new separation and naming should make it easier
to find what you're looking for.
Previous called get_data which is dangerous for large but
indeterminate response sizes, and the bail chain was more
difficult to reason about than a simple should_gzip true/false.
Previous version had a bug when the URL contained percent-encoded
spaces because url.replace() was looking for spaces and not replacing
the %20. Constructing the url from parts is more reliable.
With the recent addition of search_embed iframes on other pages, we
had photo cards appearing but the photo_clipboard module was not
imported thus the checkboxes did nothing. I don't want to import
photo_clipboard onto every single page, I'd rather they click through
to the full search UI. Otherwise every single page will have the tray
and often not a good enough reason for it.
So, since the functionality of the checkbox is completely reliant on
the photo_clipboard.js module anyway, there's no reason not to have it
generated by that module.
I got pretty close last time, but the one table that I rebuilt manually
inside the with block was, of course, still hanging on to the table_old
when all the others got renamed. Grrr. This new format breaks the whole
thing into separate steps for rename, transfer, drop, all tables
in lockstep.
