<h3>Problem/Motivation</h3>
<p>The module cannot be installed on Drupal 9, 10 or 11.<br>
<code>purge_cache_warmer.info.yml</code> still carries the <code>core: 8.x</code><br>
key that was removed in Drupal 9, and it has no<br>
<code>core_version_requirement</code>.</p>
<p>The failure is not limited to this module. Because the info file cannot be<br>
parsed, the whole extension scan fails, so nothing at all can be installed<br>
while this module is present in the codebase:</p>
<pre><pre>$ drush en purge purge_queuer_url -y<br>In InfoParserDynamic.php line 55:<br> The 'core_version_requirement' key must be present in<br> .../purge_cache_warmer/purge_cache_warmer.info.yml</pre></pre><p>Both dependencies are alive and already support Drupal 11:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>purge</code> 8.x-3.7,<br>
<code>core_version_requirement: ^9.5 || ^10 || ^11</code></li>
<li><code>purge_queuer_url</code> 8.x-1.2,<br>
<code>core_version_requirement: ^10 || ^11</code></li>
</ul>
<p>Reviewing <code>CacheWarmer.php</code> while making it installable turned up<br>
defects that are worth fixing in the same pass.</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>A connection failure kills the whole queue run.</strong> The<br>
plugin catches <code>RequestException</code>, but Guzzle's<br>
<code>ConnectException</code> is a <em>sibling</em> of it, not a subclass.<br>
Both extend <code>TransferException</code>. A DNS failure, refused<br>
connection or TLS handshake error therefore escapes<br>
<code>invalidate()</code> and terminates queue processing for every<br>
remaining item.</li>
<li><strong>A purged 404 is requeued forever.</strong> Guzzle's<br>
<code>http_errors</code> is on by default, so a 404 becomes an exception,<br>
is caught, and is marked <code>FAILED</code>. Warming the URL of a deleted<br>
node can never succeed, so it is retried indefinitely.</li>
<li><strong>TLS certificate verification is disabled</strong> via<br>
<code>['verify' =&gt; FALSE]</code>.</li>
<li><strong>The logger is called with the exception text as the message<br>
template</strong>, so any <code>@</code> or <code>%</code> in an exception<br>
message is treated as a placeholder token.</li>
<li><strong>No request timeout</strong>, so one hung origin request stalls<br>
queue processing.</li>
<li><strong><code>getIdealConditionsLimit()</code> is inherited as<br>
100.</strong> Every warm is a full uncached render on the origin, so<br>
offering 100 at once is a self inflicted load spike.</li>
<li>An invalidation of an unsupported type would leave its state unset, which<br>
raises <code>BadPluginBehaviorException</code>.</li>
</ol>
<p>There are also no tests and no <code>.gitlab-ci.yml</code>.</p>
<h3>Proposed resolution</h3>
<ul>
<li>Set <code>core_version_requirement: ^11</code>, drop the<br>
<code>core: 8.x</code> key, and namespace the dependencies as<br>
<code>purge:purge</code> and<br>
<code>purge_queuer_url:purge_queuer_url</code>.</li>
<li>Add a real <code>composer.json</code> with a <code>require</code> section,<br>
license, homepage and support links.</li>
<li>Catch <code>\Exception</code> around the whole per URL operation so one<br>
bad URL can never abandon the rest of the batch.</li>
<li>Set <code>http_errors</code> to FALSE and decide the state from the<br>
status code. Any answer from the origin means the page was rendered again<br>
and the caches in front of it hold a fresh copy, including 404s. Retry only<br>
where the origin declined to render: 5xx, plus 408, 425 and 429. A final<br>
1xx is not a rendered representation, so it is also retried.</li>
<li>Verify TLS certificates.</li>
<li>Do not follow redirects. The invalidated URL is the one that needs<br>
warming, and the redirect response is itself what the cache should hold.<br>
This also stops one invalidation from turning into six requests.</li>
<li>Set a 6 second request timeout and a 2 second connect timeout. Purge<br>
rejects a time hint above 10.0 and sizes queue leases from it, so both<br>
timeouts together have to stay under that ceiling. This matches the<br>
constraint that <code>purge_purger_http</code> enforces in its own<br>
configuration form.</li>
<li>Log through a message template with placeholders.</li>
<li>Lower <code>getIdealConditionsLimit()</code> to 10.</li>
<li>Add kernel test coverage with a mocked HTTP client.</li>
<li>Add a <code>.gitlab-ci.yml</code> and a <code>phpcs.xml.dist</code> that<br>
enables <code>DrupalPractice</code>.</li>
<li>Rewrite <code>README.md</code> to the current template.</li>
</ul>
<p>Purge 3.7 still discovers purgers by annotation. It ships no attribute<br>
class, and <code>Plugin/Purge/Purger/PluginManager.php</code> passes the<br>
annotation class where Drupal 11 expects an attribute class, relying on core's<br>
backward compatibility branch. So <code>@PurgePurger</code> is kept rather than<br>
converted to a PHP attribute. Converting it would break discovery.</p>
<h3>Remaining tasks</h3>
<ul>
<li>Review.</li>
<li>Decide whether to restrict which origins may be warmed, see below.</li>
</ul>
<h3>User interface changes</h3>
<p>None.</p>
<h3>API changes</h3>
<p><code>CacheWarmer::invalidate()</code> gains a <code>void</code> return<br>
type. <code>routeTypeToMethod()</code> is removed because it only returned what<br>
<code>PurgerBase</code> already returns.</p>
<h3>Data model changes</h3>
<p>None.</p>
<h3>Related issues</h3>
<p>This supersedes or resolves:</p>
<ul>
<li>#3390937 Need this module compatible for Drupal 10, reported by<br>
sairamraavi, who also opened MR !1. That MR is not usable as is: it adds<br>
<code>core_version_requirement</code> while leaving the<br>
<code>core: 8.x</code> key in place, which Drupal rejects, and its<br>
<code>.gitlab-ci.yml</code> is the stock GitLab sample template rather than<br>
the Drupal Association includes. The report was correct though, and<br>
predates this issue.</li>
<li>#3073090 Dependency namespacing in .info.yml file, reported by<br>
alonaoneill.</li>
<li>#2874040 Correct url for purge_queuer_url module in description, reported<br>
by nketchum, fixed as part of the README rewrite.</li>
<li>#3141449 Automated Drupal Rector fixes, an obsolete bot issue from<br>
2020.</li>
</ul>
<p>Not addressed here, and left open:</p>
<ul>
<li>#2845068 Support For Multiple Balancers. That needs an API change in<br>
Purge itself and deserves its own issue.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Follow up: which origins may be warmed</h3>
<p><code>purge_queuer_url</code> builds registry URLs from the inbound HTTP<br>
Host header unless <code>host_override</code> is configured, and Symfony only<br>
validates that header when <code>trusted_host_patterns</code> is set, which is<br>
not the default. On a site without <code>trusted_host_patterns</code>, an<br>
attacker who can get a cacheable response registered under a hostname they<br>
control can later have this module issue a GET to an address of their<br>
choosing.</p>
<p>Not following redirects removes the easiest escalation. A full fix belongs<br>
with the queuer, or in a follow up that lets a site declare which origins may<br>
be warmed. Sites should set <code>trusted_host_patterns</code>, and<br>
<code>host_override</code> in the queuer, in the meantime.</p>
