Scraping mosaic-generating endpoints results in DOS #393

Closed joefutrelle closed 2 days ago

joefutrelle commented 2 weeks ago

Endpoints that asynchronously schedule mosaic jobs, when accessed in rapid succession, consume all available CPU and RAM even on reasonably-provisioned machines. These endpoints (will enumerate below) need to be patched so that they don't create these mosaic jobs, which will potentially place mosaic generation at a different point in the rendering process.

This PR will:

Change the /api/bin API calls to POSTs within the UI
Prevent the "preload" flag from working unless it was a POST request
