InitializeTenancyByOriginHeader::getDomain() passed the literal string 'null' (the serialization of an opaque origin, sent by browsers for e.g. sandboxed iframes) to the resolver as a hostname. A request with Origin: null identified a tenant whose domain is 'null'. It's now treated like a missing header. Origin: null.localhost and https://null.localhost still identify that tenant.

For malformed URLs such as http://, http:///foo and https://:80, parse_url() returns false, which the ?? fallback kept, so the assert() failed with an AssertionError. That bypassed $onFail and resulted in a
500. Without assertions enabled, returning false from a string method throws a TypeError instead. These are now treated like a missing header too, so $onFail applies, and universal routes fall back to the central context.

Origin: 0 was previously treated as a missing header because '0' is falsy. It's now treated as a hostname like any other scheme-less value, consistent with #1501 making '0' a valid domain.

A test in 'origin identification can be used with universal routes' meant to send no Origin header, but withHeader() persisted the previous request's header. It now calls flushHeaders().

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved handling of malformed or opaque Origin values, preventing them from incorrectly identifying a tenant.
    • Requests with invalid Origin values now follow the configured failure response, while universal routes continue to work for supported Origin cases.

InitializeTenancyByOriginHeader::getDomain() passed the literal string
'null' (the serialization of an opaque origin, sent by browsers for
e.g. sandboxed iframes) to the resolver as a hostname. A request with
Origin: null identified a tenant whose domain is 'null'. It's now
treated like a missing header. Origin: null.localhost and
https://null.localhost still identify that tenant.

For malformed URLs such as http://, http:///foo and https://:80,
parse_url() returns false, which the ?? fallback kept, so the assert()
failed with an AssertionError. That bypassed $onFail and resulted in a
500. Without assertions enabled, returning false from a string method
throws a TypeError instead. These are now treated like a missing header
too, so $onFail applies, and universal routes fall back to the central
context.

Origin: 0 was previously treated as a missing header because '0' is
falsy. It's now treated as a hostname like any other scheme-less value,
consistent with #1501 making '0' a valid domain.

Walkthrough

The middleware validates Origin values before extracting a host. Tests cover malformed and opaque Origin values, tenant identification for a null domain, and central responses from universal routes.

Changes: Origin Header Validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Origin parsing and request outcomes
src/Middleware/InitializeTenancyByOriginHeader.php, tests/OriginHeaderIdentificationTest.php
The middleware validates Origin values and returns a parsed host, the original value, or an empty string. Tests cover malformed and opaque values, tenant identification, and universal-route responses.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main change: the origin middleware no longer accepts the 'null' Origin value or malformed Origin URLs. The raw summary and PR objectives both describe this change to InitializeTenancyByOriginHeader::getDomain and the related tests. The title also says '[4.x]', which names the target branch and does not change the meaning. It does not mention the secondary change that Origin: 0 is treated as a hostname, or the flushHeaders() test fix, but a title does not need to list every detail.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 0.00% 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 1 functions across 2 files.

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

A rabbit checks the Origin line,
And sorts the hosts in neat design.
A malformed value takes its leave,
While valid domains can be received.
Central routes stay calm and clear,
As little paws complete the review.
