This is proxy, not CGI, but the same appears to apply: fossil clone http://dmason%40ryerson.ca@localhost:8081/f2017/A-dmason_ryerson.ca x.fossil
(talking directly to the server) also doesn't seem to want the .fossil extension, whereas ssh: and file: do. This seems inconsistent to me, though obviously you won't be changing it!!! Thanks again (both for the immediate help, and for fossil itself)! ../Dave On 26 September 2017 at 10:05, Richard Hipp <d...@sqlite.org> wrote: > On 9/26/17, David Mason <dma...@ryerson.ca> wrote: > > Indeed!
