git-instaweb: Add support for running gitweb via 'plackup'
PSGI is an interface between Perl web applications and web servers, and
Plack is a Perl module and toolkit that contains PSGI middleware, helpers
and adapters to web servers; see http://plackperl.org
PSGI and Plack are inspired by Python's WSGI and Ruby's Rack (and
probably JavaScript's Jack/JSGI).
Plack core distribution includes HTTP::Server::PSGI, a reference PSGI
standalone web server implementation. 'plackup' is a command line
launcher to run PSGI applications from command line, connecting web
app to a web server via Plack::Runner module. By default it uses
HTTP::Server::PSGI as a web server.
git-instaweb generates gitweb.psgi wrapper (in $GIT_DIR/gitweb). This
wrapper uses Plack::App::WrapCGI to compile gitweb.cgi (which is a CGI
script) into a PSGI application using CGI::Compile and CGI::Emulate::PSGI.
git-instaweb then runs this wrapper, using by default HTTP::Server::PSGI
standalone Perl server, via Plack::Runner.
The configuration for 'plackup' is currently embedded in generated
gitweb.psgi wrapper, instead of using httpd.conf ($conf).
To run git-instaweb with '--httpd=plackup', you need to have instaled
Plack core, CGI::Emulate::PSGI, CGI::Compile. Those modules have to be
available for Perl scripts (which can be done for example by setting
PERL5LIB environment variable). This is currently not documented.
