2010-09-27smart-http: Don't change POST to GET when following redirectLibravatar Tay Ray Chuan1-0/+8
For a long time (29508e1 "Isolate shared HTTP request functionality", Fri Nov 18 11:02:58 2005), we've followed HTTP redirects with CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION. However, when the remote HTTP server returns a redirect the default libcurl action is to change a POST request into a GET request while following the redirect, but the remote http backend does not expect that. Fix this by telling libcurl to always keep the request as type POST with CURLOPT_POSTREDIR. For users of libcurl older than 7.19.1, use CURLOPT_POST301 instead, which only follows 301s instead of both 301s and 302s.

2010-06-25tests: Skip tests in a way that makes sense under TAPLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-1/+1
SKIP messages are now part of the TAP plan. A TAP harness now knows why a particular test was skipped and can report that information. The non-TAP harness built into Git's test-lib did nothing special with these messages, and is unaffected by these changes.

2010-01-12remote-curl: Fix Accept header for smart HTTP connectionsLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-1/+1
We actually expect to see an application/x-git-upload-pack-result but we lied and said we Accept *-response. This was a typo on my part when I was writing the code. Fortunately the wrong Accept header had no real impact, as the deployed git-http-backend servers were not testing the Accept header before they returned their content. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2009-11-09t5551-http-fetch: Work around broken Accept header in libcurlLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-0/+3
Unfortunately at least one version of libcurl has a bug causing it to include "Accept: */*" in the same POST request where we have already asked for "Accept: application/x-git-upload-pack-response". This is a bug in libcurl, not Git, or our test vector. The application has explicitly asked the server for a single content type, but libcurl has mistakenly also told the server the client application will accept */*, which is any content type. Based on the libcurl change log, this "Accept: */*" header bug may have been fixed in version 7.18.1 released March 30, 2008: http://curl.haxx.se/changes.html#7_18_1 Rather than require users to upgrade libcurl we change the test vector to trim this line out of the 2nd request.

2009-11-09t5551-http-fetch: Work around some libcurl versionsLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-4/+4
Some versions of libcurl report their output when GIT_CURL_VERBOSE is set differently than other versions do. At least one variant (version unknown but likely pre-7.18.1) reports the POST payload to stderr, and omits the blank line after each HTTP request/response. We clip these lines out of the stderr output now before doing the compare, so we aren't surprised by this trivial difference. Reported-by: Tarmigan <tarmigan+git@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2009-11-04test smart http fetch and pushLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-0/+102
The top level directory "/smart/" of the test Apache server is mapped through our git-http-backend CGI, but uses the same underlying repository space as the server's document root. This is the most simple installation possible. Server logs are checked to verify the client has accessed only the smart URLs during the test. During fetch testing the headers are also logged from libcurl to ensure we are making a reasonably sane HTTP request, and getting back reasonably sane response headers from the CGI. When validating the request headers used during smart fetch we munge away the actual Content-Length and replace it with the placeholder "xxx". This avoids unnecessary varability in the test caused by an unrelated change in the requested capabilities in the first want line of the request. However, we still want to look for and verify that Content-Length was used, because smaller payloads should be using Content-Length and not "Transfer-Encoding: chunked". When validating the server response headers we must discard both Content-Length and Transfer-Encoding, as Apache2 can use either format to return our response. During development of this test I observed Apache returning both forms, depending on when the processes got CPU time. If our CGI returned the pack data quickly, Apache just buffered the whole thing and returned a Content-Length. If our CGI took just a bit too long to complete, Apache flushed its buffer and instead used "Transfer-Encoding: chunked". Signed-off-by: Shawn O.
