2011-05-04http: make curl callbacks match contracts from curl headerLibravatar Dan McGee1-1/+1
Yes, these don't match perfectly with the void* first parameter of the fread/fwrite in the standard library, but they do match the curl expected method signature. This is needed when a refactor passes a curl_write_callback around, which would otherwise give incorrect parameter warnings.

2011-03-14smart-http: Really never use Expect: 100-continueLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-1/+1
libcurl may choose to try and use Expect: 100-continue for any type of POST, not just a Transfer: chunked-encoding type. Force it to disable this feature, as not all proxy servers support 100-continue and leaving it enabled can cause 1 second stalls during the negotiation phase of fetch-pack/upload-pack. In ("206b099d26 smart-http: Don't use Expect: 100-Continue") we tried to disable this for only large POST bodies, but it should be disabled for every POST body. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2011-02-15smart-http: Don't use Expect: 100-ContinueLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-11/+55
Some HTTP/1.1 servers or proxies don't correctly implement the 100-Continue feature of HTTP/1.1. Its a difficult feature to implement right, and isn't commonly used by browsers, so many developers may not even be aware that their server (or proxy) doesn't honor it. Within the smart HTTP protocol for Git we only use this newer "Expect: 100-Continue" feature to probe for missing authentication before uploading a large payload like a pack file during push. If authentication is necessary, we expect the server to send the 401 Not Authorized response before the bulk data transfer starts, thus saving the client bandwidth during the retry. A different method to probe for working authentication is to send an empty command list (that is just "0000") to $URL/git-receive-pack. or $URL/git-upload-pack. All versions of both receive-pack and upload-pack since the introduction of smart HTTP in Git 1.6.6 cleanly accept just a flush-pkt under --stateless-rpc mode, and exit with success. If HTTP level authentication is successful, the backend will return an empty response, but with HTTP status code 200. This enables the client to continue with the transfer. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2010-08-06smart-http: Don't deadlock on server failureLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-2/+3
If the remote HTTP server fails (e.g. returns 404 or 500) when we posted the RPC to it, we won't have sent anything to the background Git process that is supposed to handle the stream. Because we didn't send anything, its waiting for input from remote-curl, and remote-curl cannot read its response payload because doing so would lead to a deadlock. Send the background task EOF on its input before we try to read its response back, that way it will break out of its read loop and terminate. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2010-04-09remote-curl: ensure that URLs have a trailing slashLibravatar Tay Ray Chuan1-6/+8
Previously, we blindly assumed that URLs passed to the remote-curl helper did not end with a trailing slash. Use the convenience function end_url_with_slash() from http.[ch] to ensure that URLs have a trailing slash on invocation of the remote-curl helper, and use the URL as one with a trailing slash throughout. It is possible for users to pass a URL with a trailing slash to remote-curl, by, say, setting it in remote.<name>.url in their git config. The resulting requests have an empty path component (//) and may break implementations of the http git protocol.

2010-04-01Prompt for a username when an HTTP request 401sLibravatar Scott Chacon1-0/+2
When an HTTP request returns a 401, Git will currently fail with a confusing message saying that it got a 401, which is not very descriptive. Currently if a user wants to use Git over HTTP, they have to use one URL with the username in the URL (e.g. "http://user@host.com/repo.git") for write access and another without the username for unauthenticated read access (unless they want to be prompted for the password each time). However, since the HTTP servers will return a 401 if an action requires authentication, we can prompt for username and password if we see this, allowing us to use a single URL for both purposes. This patch changes http_request to prompt for the username and password, then return HTTP_REAUTH so http_get_strbuf can try again. If it gets a 401 even when a user/pass is supplied, http_request will now return HTTP_NOAUTH which remote_curl can then use to display a more intelligent error message that is less confusing.

This patch adds the possibility to supply a set of non-0 file descriptors for async process communication instead of the default-created pipe. Additionally, we now support bi-directional communiction with the async procedure, by giving the async function both read and write file descriptors. To retain compatiblity and similar "API feel" with start_command, we require start_async callers to set .out = -1 to get a readable file descriptor. If either of .in or .out is 0, we supply no file descriptor to the async process. [sp: Note: Erik started this patch, and a huge bulk of it is his work.

2009-12-01Allow curl to rewind the RPC read bufferLibravatar Martin Storsjö1-0/+30
When using multi-pass authentication methods, the curl library may need to rewind the read buffers used for providing data to HTTP POST, if data has been output before a 401 error is received. This is needed only when the first request (when the multi-pass authentication method isn't initialized and hasn't received its challenge yet) for a certain curl session is a chunked HTTP POST. As long as the current rpc read buffer is the first one, we're able to rewind without need for additional buffering. The curl library currently starts sending data without waiting for a response to the Expect: 100-continue header, due to a bug in curl that exists up to curl version 7.19.7. If the HTTP server doesn't handle Expect: 100-continue headers properly (e.g. Lighttpd), the library has to start sending data without knowing if the request will be successfully authenticated. In this case, this rewinding solution is not sufficient - the whole request will be sent before the 401 error is received. Signed-off-by: Martin Storsjo <martin@martin.st> Acked-by: Shawn O.

2009-11-04Smart fetch over HTTP: client sideLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-4/+65
The git-remote-curl backend detects if the remote server supports the git-upload-pack service, and if so, runs git-fetch-pack locally in a pipe to generate the want/have commands. The advertisements from the server that were obtained during the discovery are passed into git-fetch-pack before the POST request starts, permitting server capability discovery and enablement. Common objects that are discovered are appended onto the request as have lines and are sent again on the next request. This allows the remote side to reinitialize its in-memory list of common objects during the next request. Because all requests are relatively short, below git-remote-curl's 1 MiB buffer limit, requests will use the standard Content-Length header and be valid HTTP/1.0 POST requests. This makes the fetch client more tolerant of proxy servers which don't support HTTP/1.1 or the chunked transfer encoding. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2009-11-04Smart push over HTTP: client sideLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-2/+233
The git-remote-curl backend detects if the remote server supports the git-receive-pack service, and if so, runs git-send-pack in a pipe to dump the command and pack data as a single POST request. The advertisements from the server that were obtained during the discovery are passed into git-send-pack before the POST request starts. This permits git-send-pack to operate largely unmodified. For smaller packs (those under 1 MiB) a HTTP/1.0 POST with a Content-Length is used, permitting interaction with any server. The 1 MiB limit is arbitrary, but is sufficent to fit most deltas created by human authors against text sources with the occasional small binary file (e.g. few KiB icon image). The configuration option http.postBuffer can be used to increase (or shink) this buffer if the default is not sufficient. For larger packs which cannot be spooled entirely into the helper's memory space (due to http.postBuffer being too small), the POST request requires HTTP/1.1 and sets "Transfer-Encoding: chunked". This permits the client to upload an unknown amount of data in one HTTP transaction without needing to pregenerate the entire pack file locally. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

The remote helper interface now supports the push capability, which can be used to ask the implementation to push one or more specs to the remote repository. For remote-curl we implement this by calling the existing WebDAV based git-http-push executable. Internally the helper interface uses the push_refs transport hook so that the complexity of the refspec parsing and matching can be reused between remote implementations. When possible however the helper protocol uses source ref name rather than the source SHA-1, thereby allowing the helper to access this name if it is useful. >From Clemens Buchacher <drizzd@aon.at>: update http tests according to remote-curl capabilities o Pushing packed refs is now fixed. o The transport helper fails if refs are already up-to-date. Add a test for that. o The transport helper will notice if refs are already up-to-date. We therefore need to update server info in the unpacked-refs test. o The transport helper will purge deleted branches automatically. o Use a variable ($ORIG_HEAD) instead of full SHA-1 name.
