Remove http.authAny

2009-12-29T20:07:58Z

Back when the feature to use different HTTP authentication methods was originally written, it needed an extra HTTP request for everything when the feature was in effect, because we didn't reuse curl sessions. However, b8ac923 (Add an option for using any HTTP authentication scheme, not only basic, 2009-11-27) builds on top of an updated codebase that does reuse curl sessions; there is no need to manually avoid the extra overhead by making this configurable anymore.

Add an option for using any HTTP authentication scheme, not only basic

2009-11-28T06:46:33Z

This adds the configuration option http.authAny (overridable with the environment variable GIT_HTTP_AUTH_ANY), for instructing curl to allow any HTTP authentication scheme, not only basic (which sends the password in plaintext). When this is enabled, curl has to do double requests most of the time, in order to discover which HTTP authentication method to use, which lowers the performance slightly. Therefore this isn't enabled by default. One example of another authentication scheme to use is digest, which doesn't send the password in plaintext, but uses a challenge-response mechanism instead. Using digest authentication in practice requires at least curl 7.18.1, due to bugs in the digest handling in earlier versions of curl.

http: maintain curl sessions

2009-11-28T06:46:05Z

Allow curl sessions to be kept alive (ie. not ended with curl_easy_cleanup()) even after the request is completed, the number of which is determined by the configuration setting http.minSessions. Add a count for curl sessions, and update it, across slots, when starting and ending curl sessions. Signed-off-by: Tay Ray Chuan Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Smart push over HTTP: client side

2009-11-05T01:58:15Z

The git-remote-curl backend detects if the remote server supports the git-receive-pack service, and if so, runs git-send-pack in a pipe to dump the command and pack data as a single POST request. The advertisements from the server that were obtained during the discovery are passed into git-send-pack before the POST request starts. This permits git-send-pack to operate largely unmodified. For smaller packs (those under 1 MiB) a HTTP/1.0 POST with a Content-Length is used, permitting interaction with any server. The 1 MiB limit is arbitrary, but is sufficent to fit most deltas created by human authors against text sources with the occasional small binary file (e.g. few KiB icon image). The configuration option http.postBuffer can be used to increase (or shink) this buffer if the default is not sufficient. For larger packs which cannot be spooled entirely into the helper's memory space (due to http.postBuffer being too small), the POST request requires HTTP/1.1 and sets "Transfer-Encoding: chunked". This permits the client to upload an unknown amount of data in one HTTP transaction without needing to pregenerate the entire pack file locally. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

http.c: avoid freeing an uninitialized pointer

An earlier 59b8d38 (http.c: remove verification of remote packs) left the variable "url" uninitialized; "goto cleanup" codepath can free it which is not very nice. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
