M. J. Fromberger 1f5e64e5b6 rpc: remove cache control settings from the HTTP server (#7568)
We should not set cache-control headers on RPC responses. HTTP caching
interacts poorly with resources that are expected to change frequently, or
whose rate of change is unpredictable.

More subtly, all calls to the POST endpoint use the same URL, which means a
cacheable response from one call may actually "hide" an uncacheable response
from a subsequent one. This is less of a problem for the GET endpoints, but
that means the behaviour of RPCs varies depending on which HTTP method your
client happens to use. Websocket requests were already marked statically
uncacheable, adding yet a third combination.

To address this:

- Stop setting cache-control headers.
- Update the tests that were checking for those headers.
- Remove the flags to request cache-control.

Apart from affecting the HTTP response headers, this change does not modify the
behaviour of any of the RPC methods.

Tendermint Tests

The unit tests (ie. the go test s) can be run with make test. The integration tests can be run with make test_integrations.

Running the integrations test will build a docker container with local version of tendermint and run the following tests in docker containers:

  • go tests, with --race
    • includes test coverage
  • app tests
    • kvstore app over socket
  • persistence tests
    • crash tendermint at each of many predefined points, restart, and ensure it syncs properly with the app

Fuzzing

Fuzzing of various system inputs.
