I havn't setup up mercurial repositories to be accessed via http. So this is my wild guess. It is true that mercurial is a distributed VCS and that all the version control information is stored inside the directory called .hg/ under repository root, and the working tree is simply a checkout of .hg/ Now to access mercurial repository it is enough to have the file path or file url. And because of this ssh becomes quite convenient to access remote file-paths, since ssh server naturally understands unix file tree. But HTTP server is a different beast. It requires configuration to map HTTP urls to file path. And I guess OP is requesting information on that.
