Hey, everyone. I tried to get git over fproxy working last night and I got a couple of results.
I was able to insert a cloned repository into freenet and retrieve it with the following URL: http://localhost:8888/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/foo.git/2?type=text/plain The reason for this is the warning page that fproxy shows when it does not know the content type of a file or does not know how to filter it. Adding a command-line parameter right now is the only way to make fproxy deliver the content of the file immediately. Then fproxy also insisted on returning HTTP status code 500 if a file is not in a site’s archive but that was changed easily (r20207). After I fixed up git to include the path of the objects it wants into the URL before the query string I was able to successfully pull a repository from freenet. I though I could just roll up the patch and submit it to git but there were indeed some problems with it (as pointed out[1] by Junio). Basically, my patch will break URLs like http://foo.org/serve.cgi?project=bar.git. That is pretty much unacceptable. So I need a way to retrieve a file from freenet _without_ the warning page and _without_ adding a query string to the URL. Can we introduce something like http://localhost:8888/unchecked/<key> to retrieve the file, no matter what? Maybe with a config option to disable that behaviour to prevent people from clicking the link and being “infected” with whatever is delivered? As I'm starting to like git more and more I do want to see it supported in Freenet and this is the only way to make it work that I can currently think about. Thank you for listening, David [1] http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/83875
