2009-06-27gitweb/README: fix AliasMatch in exampleLibravatar Giuseppe Bilotta1-1/+9
When combining "dumb client" and human-friendly access by using the '.git' extension to switch between the two, make sure the AliasMatch covers the entire request. Without a full match, a request for http://git.example.com/project/shortlog/branch..gitsomething would result in a 404 because the server would try to access the the project 'project/shortlog/branch.' The solution is still not bulletproof, so document the possible failing case. Signed-off-by: Giuseppe Bilotta <giuseppe.bilotta@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2009-02-08gitweb: add $prevent_xss option to prevent XSS by repository contentLibravatar Matt McCutchen1-1/+8
Add a gitweb configuration variable $prevent_xss that disables features to prevent content in repositories from launching cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks in the gitweb domain. Currently, this option makes gitweb ignore README.html (a better solution may be worked out in the future) and serve a blob_plain file of an untrusted type with "Content-Disposition: attachment", which tells the browser not to show the file at its original URL. The XSS prevention is currently off by default. Signed-off-by: Matt McCutchen <matt@mattmccutchen.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2009-02-01gitweb: Update README that gitweb works better with PATH_INFOLibravatar Jakub Narebski1-6/+4
One had to configure gitweb for it to find static files (stylesheets, images) when using path_info URLs. Now that it is not necessary thanks to adding BASE element to HTML head if needed, update README to reflect this fact.

2008-03-27gitweb: fallback to system-wide config file if default config does not existLibravatar Gerrit Pape1-1/+8
From a distribution point of view, configuration files for applications should reside in /etc/. On the other hand it's convenient for multiple instances of gitweb (e.g. virtual web servers on a single machine) to have a per-instance configuration file, just as gitweb currently supports through the file gitweb_config.perl next to the cgi. To support both at runtime, this commit introduces GITWEB_CONFIG_SYSTEM as a system-wide configuration file which will be used as a fallback if the config file sprecified throug GITWEB_CONFIG does not exist.

2008-02-09gitweb: Use the config file to set repository owner's name.Libravatar Bruno Ribas1-0/+4
Now gitweb checks if gitweb.owner exists before trying to get filesystem's owner. Allow to use configuration variable gitweb.owner set the repository owner, it checks the gitweb.owner, if not set it uses filesystem directory's owner. Useful when we don't want to maintain project list file, and all repository directories have to have the same owner (for example when the same SSH account is shared for all projects, using ssh_acl to control access instead).

2008-01-29gitweb: Add info about $projectroot and $projects_list to gitweb/READMELibravatar Jakub Narebski1-2/+15
Those two configuration variables are important enough that it is worth to explicitely write about them in the "Gitweb config file variables" section even if they are usually set during build by GITWEB_PROJECTROOT and GITWEB_LIST build (Makefile) configuration variables.

2007-06-07War on whitespaceLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+0
This uses "git-apply --whitespace=strip" to fix whitespace errors that have crept in to our source files over time. There are a few files that need to have trailing whitespaces (most notably, test vectors). The results still passes the test, and build result in Documentation/ area is unchanged.

2006-08-02gitweb: require $ENV{'GITWEB_CONFIG'}Libravatar Matthias Lederhofer1-0/+5
With this patch it is possible to use gitweb.perl for developing by loading the configuration from $GITWEB_CONFIG. This might also be useful for normal usage of gitweb. Example: % cat cfg $GIT = '/usr/bin/git'; $projectroot = '/home/matled/src/git'; $projects_list = '/home/matled/src/git/git/gitweb/list'; % cat run #!/bin/sh export GATEWAY_INTERFACE="CGI/1.1" export HTTP_ACCEPT="*/*" export REQUEST_METHOD="GET" export GITWEB_CONFIG='./cfg' export QUERY_STRING=""$1"" exec ./gitweb.perl % time ./run p=git/.git > /dev/null This makes it easy to check for warnings and do performance tests after changes, you can also pipe this to lynx -dump -force-html /dev/stdin to get more than just html. This also documents the original patch adding require $GITWEB_CONFIG. Signed-off-by: Matthias Lederhofer <matled@gmx.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

Generate gitweb/gitweb.cgi to reduce the need to patch gitweb.cgi by the end user. The GIT installation directory is already known by the Makefile, and can be inserted directly into gitweb. All other gitweb configuration parameters can now be specified by providing GITWEB_* variables while building GIT. These are described in gitweb/README.
