FYI: The gitbox web UI is deliberately returning 403 most URLs (besides
the basic "commit summary") as a spam/abuse prevention mechanism
The official recommendation from infra is "Browse / review commits on
github"

Chris Lambertus updated INFRA-17956:
------------------------------------
Status: Waiting for user (was: Waiting for Infra)
Yes, we had to disable a number of features due to extreme abuse that was
taking gitbox down. Please use github's UI for now.
gitbox web ui returning 403 for some types of requests
------------------------------------------------------
Key: INFRA-17956
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-17956
Project: Infrastructure
Issue Type: Bug
Components: GitBox
Reporter: Hoss Man
Priority: Major
using the gitbox web ui to browse commit info returns 403 error codes for some
types of requests (ie: things that the gitbox web ui provides links to when
viewing a particular commit)
### examples of HTTP requests that work
# view a commit
https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf?p=lucene-solr.git;h=b8d569a
# view a file as of a commit
https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf?p=lucene-solr.git;a=blob;f=solr/core/src/java/org/apache/solr/client/solrj/embedded/JettySolrRunner.java;h=ba94104bba12ff6e424fdd43b766167d8ae12e8b;hb=b8d569a
# view entire diff for a commit
https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf?p=lucene-solr.git;a=commitdiff;h=b8d569a

# view commit as patch
https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf?p=lucene-solr.git;h=b8d569a
