Using the write() callable supplied by the start_response() call is
frowned upon by the WSGI spec, returning an iterable over the content chunks
is the recommended way. Be aware, though: returning many small chunks will
slow down responses, because the server has to flush each chunk separately.
Consistently enforces authorization checks set up in hgrc up front, so that
the actual commands don't have to worry about them and implementers of
hgweb alternatives can easily implement their own permission checks.
If the last n charecters of the URL doesn't match an entry in archive_specs
req.form never has a key 'type'. When achive() looks up 'type' in the form
dict it causes a traceback rather than printing an error message.
- make renamelink take a context
- pass current node to shortlog page rather than tip
- pass user/desc/date/rename to filediff
- improve template error reporting for foo%bar
Up to changeset 6713db859c82, HTTP headers were expected to be embedded
in the "headers" template. Since that changeset, the content-type is
supposed to be defined as the "mimetype" template in the map file.
This changeset makes sure the old templates still work.
Turns out that stderr - where ui.warn would send messages - was not
being proxied over the HTTP connection. stdout was, and it seems you
need both. (The streams are interleaved for readability.)
Tested on Ubuntu 7.10 with lighttpd on hgweb.cgi with HTTP Basic auth,
no SSL, using a changeset failing win32text.forbidcrlf.
The error message at startup when the address/port could not be bound
was confusing:
hg serve
abort: cannot start server: Address already in use
Be more explicit:
$ hg serve -a localhost
abort: cannot start server at 'localhost:8000': Address already in use
Also be more explicit on success, showing hostname and ip address/port:
$ hg -v serve -a localhost -p 80
listening at http://localhost/ (127.0.0.1:80)
We are careful to handle a missconfigured machine whose hostname does not
resolve, falling back to the address given at the command line.
Remove a dead-code error message.
