Hi
In what way do you experience that it doesn't work with Kallithea?
Kallithea implements a custom wrapper around hgweb. Mainly to provide
integrated hosting with correct access control. It is a basic assumption
that reads are with GET and writes are with POST.
Without being told more about how httppostargs works / fails (and
without spending time investigating) I would assume that it works fine
for users with write access to repositories.
A more fine grained separation would require some refactorings ... and a
risk of getting it wrong and introducing security issues.
If I remember correctly, the Mercurial client also has a max limit of
how large headers it will send. But mainly: For most web servers it is
possible to adjust the header limit to work with most repositories. That
is apparently also possible with IIS, even if that is one of your
constraints. Does that not work for you? Else, I would suggest using
another web server, preferably on unix.

Hello. I would really like to use Kallithea, but there's a deal
breaker: Kallithea does not support httppostargs=true, an almost
undocumented setting that switches Mercurial to sending heads and
largefile hashes as POST requests instead of in headers. I've looked
at the source code, and it seems Kallithea implements it's own version
of hgweb. How hard would it be to add support for httppostargs? I'm
willing to put in the work if I receive some guidance. The extent of
my Python experience is writing Mercurial hooks and simple Discord bots.
