In order to update files on commit for the web repository, when a file is committed on savannah, a HTTP POST is sent to http://www.gnu.org/savannah/sync. The post transaction must have a Content-Type of "application/x-savannah-sync". The body content contains one filename per line. Lines are terminated by LF. Filenames are relative to httpd's root directory and such filenames should not start with a "/", or contain references to "..". Filenames are limited to printable ASCII characters.
For example, if the files home.html and software/year2000.html need to be updated, then a POST might look like:
POST /savannah/update HTTP/1.1 Content-Length: 33 Content-Type: application/x-savannah-sync
home.html software/year2000.html
If the POST is accepted, then a 200 response is returned.
Attached is a Perl implementation of the client part. For Savannah hackers/admin : it requires LWP (namely libwww-perl for Debian), and thus adds a dependency on backend/gnu-specific/sv_sync_www.pl. Are you okay with that ? (this package is not installed on subversions.gnu.org)
