Anyone could mint signed proxy URLs (a remote account changes its icon, an anonymous lookup returns the URL), and each anonymous request held up to 40 MB in memory; the cache grew without bound between hourly trims; two clients asking for the same new file downloaded it twice and wrote over each other in place, so a reader could get half a file with a 7-day cache header; a file over the limit was downloaded twice on every request; a failed fetch, a 404, was cached by browsers for a week; cached media of a server suspended later were still served, and RejectMedia skipped avatars, emoji, covers, video variants, link cards and remote edits; /clientapi/group/members returned remote pictures raw. Now a download is shared by everyone asking at once, streamed into a .part file and renamed into place (FederationHttp.DownloadMedia copies bounded, never into memory), at most eight at a time; a file too big to cache is remembered for an hour and only streamed, a failure for five minutes; the cache's size is counted as it grows and trimmed as soon as it passes the cap; a cached file is opened before it is answered; browsers may cache only a success; nothing of a suspended server, or of one whose media are rejected, is proxied (everything remote a client sees goes through the proxy, so that covers every kind), and blocking one purges its cache; the proxy has its own rate limit per client address; group members' pictures are proxied; the proxy's key is loaded once, the oldest if two were made. This changes what PrivaPub serves its clients, not what it sends to other servers. Tests: clients asking at once share one download, a failure isn't cached by browsers, an over-limit file is fetched three times for two requests instead of four, a blocked server's media are refused and its cache purged.
