Optimise repo_connect by skipping authenticate_user The authentication being handled by pyramid itself, going through the authentication stack to recreate the temporary session at each request is very costly. On my desktop, for a mostly static front page, the total time for delivering the page drops from 100ms to 47ms.

Use lightweight sessions Provides a lightweight version of repo.connect() that does not keep track of opened sessions. The speed gain on a mostly static front page is about 5% Warning ! This means that, for now, the "session_open" and "session_close" hooks are NOT called anymore.

Use 'wsgicors' for CORS handling. The CW CORS handling (in web/cors.py) is only able to work on cubicweb requests. When a request is not handled by bwcompat, we need a proper solution. The `wsgicors` library provides what we need as a wsgi middleware.

Add requirements

Handle '__setauthcookie' '__setauthcookie' is a form parameter added by the 'rememberme' cube. If present and equals to '1', the cookie max_age will be set to 7 days instead of being a session cookie. To make sure the auth cookie is renewed, the reissue_time is set to 1h.

Fix POST handling. The issues where revealed by the unittests, which are ported from the cubicweb wsgi tests.

Use AuthTktAuthenticationPolicy

Handle properly the '/https/*' urls CW uses a url prefix to detect https behing a reverse-proxy. A more proper way to do that is documented here in the waitress documentation (waitress is the default pyramid wsgi server): https://waitress.readthedocs.org/en/latest/#using-behind-a-reverse-proxy A later version should implement this, or use waitress in the 'pyramid' command.

Correctly pass the multiple parameters to the cubicweb request When naively converted to a dict, the webob MultiDict will not set the multiple parameters (a same name with several values) in a way CW can understand. MultiDict.mixed() however, does exactly what CW needs: list values for keys with multiple values, and single value for the others. Related to #4291181

Add a wsgi application factory suitable for wsgi servers. This factory can generate a wsgi application for a cubicweb instance. It reads the instance name from the CW_INSTANCE environment variable, and activates the debugmode if CW_DEBUG is defined in environment. It is usable by uwsgi as the 'module' parameter : CW_INSTANCE=test uwsgi --plugins python,http --http 0.0.0.0:8080 --module pyramid_cubicweb:wsgi_application()

If any cube has a 'includeme' attribute, call config.include on it Related to #4291181

Add a make_cubicweb_application function This function will be used by the 'pyramid' cubicweb-ctl command. Related to #4291173

Use registry['cubicweb.registry'] instead of registry['cubicweb.appli'].vreg because the application may not be present. Related to #4291173
