* http: use credential API to get passwordsJeff King2011-12-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch converts the http code to use the new credential API, both for http authentication as well as for getting certificate passwords. Most of the code change is simply variable naming (the passwords are now contained inside the credential struct) or deletion of obsolete code (the credential code handles URL parsing and prompting for us). The behavior should be the same, with one exception: the credential code will prompt with a description based on the credential components. Therefore, the old prompt of: Username for 'example.com': Password for 'example.com': now looks like: Username for 'https://example.com/repo.git': Password for 'https://user@example.com/repo.git': Note that we include more information in each line, specifically: 1. We now include the protocol. While more noisy, this is an important part of knowing what you are accessing (especially if you care about http vs https). 2. We include the username in the password prompt. This is not a big deal when you have just been prompted for it, but the username may also come from the remote's URL (and after future patches, from configuration or credential helpers). In that case, it's a nice reminder of the user for which you're giving the password. 3. We include the path component of the URL. In many cases, the user won't care about this and it's simply noise (i.e., they'll use the same credential for a whole site). However, that is part of a larger question, which is whether path components should be part of credential context, both for prompting and for lookup by storage helpers. That issue will be addressed as a whole in a future patch. Similarly, for unlocking certificates, we used to say: Certificate Password for 'example.com': and we now say: Password for 'cert:///path/to/certificate': Showing the path to the client certificate makes more sense, as that is what you are unlocking, not "example.com".

* http: don't always prompt for passwordStefan Naewe2011-11-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a username is already specified at the beginning of any HTTP transaction (e.g. "git push https://user@hosting.example.com/project.git" or "git ls-remote https://user@hosting.example.com/project.git"), the code interactively asks for a password before calling into the libcurl library. It is very likely that the reason why user included the username in the URL is because the user knows that it would require authentication to access the resource. Asking for the password upfront would save one roundtrip to get a 401 response, getting the password and then retrying the request. This is a reasonable optimization. HOWEVER. This is done even when $HOME/.netrc might have a corresponding entry to access the site, or the site does not require authentication to access the resource after all. But neither condition can be determined until we call into libcurl library (we do not read and parse $HOME/.netrc ourselves). In these cases, the user is forced to respond to the password prompt, only to give a password that is not used in the HTTP transaction. If the password is in $HOME/.netrc, an empty input would later let the libcurl layer to pick up the password from there, and if the resource does not require authentication, any input would be taken and then discarded without getting used. It is wasteful to ask this unused information to the end user. Reduce the confusion by not trying to optimize for this case and always incur roundtrip penalty. An alternative might be to document this and keep this round-trip optimization as-is.

| * http_init: accept separate URL parameterJeff King2011-10-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The http_init function takes a "struct remote". Part of its initialization procedure is to look at the remote's url and grab some auth-related parameters. However, using the url included in the remote is: - wrong; the remote-curl helper may have a separate, unrelated URL (e.g., from remote.*.pushurl). Looking at the remote's configured url is incorrect. - incomplete; http-fetch doesn't have a remote, so passes NULL. So http_init never gets to see the URL we are actually going to use. - cumbersome; http-push has a similar problem to http-fetch, but actually builds a fake remote just to pass in the URL. Instead, let's just add a separate URL parameter to http_init, and all three callsites can pass in the appropriate information.

|/ / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

If index-pack crashes out when it discovers file corruption (e.g. GitHub's error HTML at the end of the file), simply delete the temporary files to cleanup. By waiting until the pack has been validated before we move it to its final name, we eliminate a race condition where another concurrent reader might try to access the pack at the same time that we are still trying to verify its not corrupt. Switching from verify-pack to index-pack is a change in behavior, but it should turn out better for users. The index-pack algorithm tries to minimize disk seeks, as well as the number of times any given object is inflated, by organizing its work along delta chains. The verify-pack logic does not attempt to do this, thrashing the delta base cache and the filesystem cache. By recreating the index file locally, we also can automatically upgrade from a v1 pack table of contents to v2. This makes the CRC32 data available for use during later repacks, even if the server didn't have them on hand. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The easiest way to verify a pack index is to open it through the standard parse_pack_index function, permitting the header check to happen when the file is mapped. However, the dumb HTTP client needs to verify a pack index before its moved into its proper file name within the objects/pack directory, to prevent a corrupt index from being made available. So permit the caller to specify the exact path of the index file. For now we're still using the final destination name within the sole call site in http.c, but eventually we will start to parse the temporary path instead. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

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 adds the configuration option http.authAny (overridable with the environment variable GIT_HTTP_AUTH_ANY), for instructing curl to allow any HTTP authentication scheme, not only basic (which sends the password in plaintext). When this is enabled, curl has to do double requests most of the time, in order to discover which HTTP authentication method to use, which lowers the performance slightly. Therefore this isn't enabled by default. One example of another authentication scheme to use is digest, which doesn't send the password in plaintext, but uses a challenge-response mechanism instead. Using digest authentication in practice requires at least curl 7.18.1, due to bugs in the digest handling in earlier versions of curl.

| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Allow curl sessions to be kept alive (ie. not ended with curl_easy_cleanup()) even after the request is completed, the number of which is determined by the configuration setting http.minSessions. Add a count for curl sessions, and update it, across slots, when starting and ending curl sessions. Signed-off-by: Tay Ray Chuan <rctay89@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

* Smart push over HTTP: client sideShawn O. Pearce2009-11-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| * http.c: remove verification of remote packsTay Ray Chuan2009-09-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make http.c::fetch_pack_index() no longer check for the remote pack with a HEAD request before fetching the corresponding pack index file. Not only does sending a HEAD request before we do a GET incur a performance penalty, it does not offer any significant error- prevention advantages (pack fetching in the *_http_pack_request() methods is capable of handling any errors on its own).
