epriestley 66c648cc56 Fix a redirect-on-login issue by allowing logged-out users to view 404 pages
Summary:
See T2102 and inline for discussion. This seems like the least-bad approach until we have something better.

The utility of next_uri seems much greater than the minor exposure of routable URIs.

Note that attackers can //not// detect if routable URIs are //valid// (e.g., "/D999" will always hit the login page whether it exists or not), just that they're routable. So you can only really tell if apps are installed or not.

Test Plan: Hit `/alsdknlkasnbla` while logged out, got 404 instead of login.

public function shouldRequireLogin() {
// NOTE: See T2102 for discussion. When a logged-out user requests a page,
// we give them a login form and set a `next_uri` cookie so we send them
// back to the page they requested after they login. However, some browsers
// or extensions request resources which may not exist (like
// "apple-touch-icon.png" and "humans.txt") and these requests may overwrite
// the stored "next_uri" after the login page loads. Our options for dealing
// with this are all bad:
//
// 1. We can't put the URI in the form because some login methods (OAuth2)
// issue redirects to third-party sites. After T1536 we might be able
// to.
// 2. We could set the cookie only if it doesn't exist, but then a user who
// declines to login will end up in the wrong place if they later do
// login.
// 3. We can blacklist all the resources browsers request, but this is a
// mess.
// 4. We can just allow users to access the 404 page without login, so
// requesting bad URIs doesn't set the cookie.
//
// This implements (4). The main downside is that an attacker can now detect
// if a URI is routable (i.e., some application is installed) by testing for
// 404 vs login. If possible, we should implement T1536 in such a way that
// we can pass the next URI through the login process.
