Pushing a large number of refs works over most transports,
because we implement send-pack as an internal function.
However, it can sometimes fail when pushing over http,
because we have to spawn "git send-pack --stateless-rpc" to
do the heavy lifting, and we pass each refspec on the
command line. This can cause us to overflow the OS limits on
the size of the command line for a large push.
We can solve this by giving send-pack a --stdin option and
using it from remote-curl. We already dealt with this on
the fetch-pack side in 078b895 (fetch-pack: new --stdin
option to read refs from stdin, 2012-04-02). The stdin
option (and in particular, its use of packet-lines for
stateless-rpc input) is modeled after that solution.

* jk/remote-curl-squelch-extra-errors:
remote-curl: mark helper-protocol errors more clearly
remote-curl: use error instead of fprintf(stderr)
remote-curl: do not complain on EOF from parent git
When we encounter an error in remote-curl, we generally just
report it to stderr. There is no need for the user to care
that the "could not connect to server" error was generated
by git-remote-https rather than a function in the parent
git-fetch process.
However, when the error is in the protocol between git and
the helper, it makes sense to clearly identify which side is
complaining. These cases shouldn't ever happen, but when
they do, we can make them less confusing by being more
verbose.

We usually prefix our error messages with "error: ", but
many error messages from remote-curl are simply printed with
fprintf. This can make the output a little harder to read
(especially because such message may be intermingled with
errors from the parent git process).
There is no reason to avoid error(), as we are already
calling it many places (in addition to libgit.a functions
which use it).
While we're adjusting the messages, we can also drop the
capitalization which makes them unlike other git error
messages.

The parent git process is supposed to send us an empty line
to indicate that the conversation is over. However, the
parent process may die() if there is a problem with the
operation (e.g., we try to fetch a ref that does not exist).
In this case, it produces a useful message, but then
remote-curl _also_ produces an unhelpful message:
$ git pull origin matser
fatal: couldn't find remote ref matser
Unexpected end of command stream
The "right" way to fix this is to teach the parent git to
always cleanly close the connection to the helper, letting
it know that we are done. Implementing that is rather
clunky, though, as it would involve either replacing die()
operations with returning errors up the stack (until we
disconnect the transport), or adding an atexit handler to
clean up any transport helpers left open.
It's much simpler to just suppress the EOF message in
remote-curl. It was not added to address any real-world
situation in the first place, but rather a "we should
probably report unexpected things" suggestion[1].
It is the parent git which drives the operation, and whose
exit value actually matters. If the parent dies, then the
helper has no need to complain (except as a debugging aid).
In the off chance that the pipe is closed without the parent
dying, it can still notice the non-zero exit code.

It's a common idiom to match a prefix and then skip past it
with strlen, like:
if (starts_with(foo, "bar"))
foo += strlen("bar");
This avoids magic numbers, but means we have to repeat the

We can use skip_prefix to handle this case without repeating

When we get a content-type from curl, we get the whole
header line, including any parameters, and without any
normalization (like downcasing or whitespace) applied.
If we later try to match it with strcmp() or even
strcasecmp(), we may get false negatives.
This could cause two visible behaviors:
1. We might fail to recognize a smart-http server by its
content-type.
2. We might fail to relay text/plain error messages to
users (especially if they contain a charset parameter).
This patch teaches the http code to extract and normalize
just the type/subtype portion of the string. This is
technically passing out less information to the callers, who
can no longer see the parameters. But none of the current
callers cares, and a future patch will add back an
easier-to-use method for accessing those parameters.

We currently don't reuse http connections when fetching via
the smart-http protocol. This is bad because the TCP
handshake introduces latency, and especially because SSL
connection setup may be non-trivial.
We can fix it by consistently using curl's "multi"
interface. The reason is rather complicated:
Our http code has two ways of being used: queuing many
"slots" to be fetched in parallel, or fetching a single
request in a blocking manner. The parallel code is built on
curl's "multi" interface. Most of the single-request code
uses http_request, which is built on top of the parallel
code (we just feed it one slot, and wait until it finishes).
However, one could also accomplish the single-request scheme
by avoiding curl's multi interface entirely and just using
curl_easy_perform. This is simpler, and is used by post_rpc
in the smart-http protocol.
It does work to use the same curl handle in both contexts,
as long as it is not at the same time. However, internally
curl may not share all of the cached resources between both
contexts. In particular, a connection formed using the
"multi" code will go into a reuse pool connected to the
"multi" object. Further requests using the "easy" interface
will not be able to reuse that connection.
The smart http protocol does ref discovery via http_request,
which uses the "multi" interface, and then follows up with
the "easy" interface for its rpc calls. As a result, we make
two HTTP connections rather than reusing a single one.
We could teach the ref discovery to use the "easy"
interface. But it is only once we have done this discovery
that we know whether the protocol will be smart or dumb. If
it is dumb, then our further requests, which want to fetch
objects in parallel, will not be able to reuse the same
connection.
Instead, this patch switches post_rpc to build on the
parallel interface, which means that we use it consistently
everywhere. It's a little more complicated to use, but since
we have the infrastructure already, it doesn't add any code;
we can just factor out the relevant bits from http_request.

* bc/http-100-continue:
remote-curl: fix large pushes with GSSAPI
remote-curl: pass curl slot_results back through run_slot
http: return curl's AUTHAVAIL via slot_results
Due to an interaction between the way libcurl handles GSSAPI
authentication over HTTP and the way git uses libcurl, large
pushes (those over http.postBuffer bytes) would fail due to
an authentication failure requiring a rewind of the curl
buffer. Such a rewind was not possible because the data did
not fit into the entire buffer.
Enable the use of the Expect: 100-continue header for large
requests where the server offers GSSAPI authentication to
avoid this issue, since the request would otherwise fail.
This allows git to get the authentication data right before
sending the pack contents. Existing cases where pushes
would succeed, including small requests using GSSAPI, still
disable the use of 100 Continue, as it causes problems for
some remote HTTP implementations (servers and proxies).

Handle the case where http transport gets redirected during the

remote-curl: rewrite base url from info/refs redirects
remote-curl: store url as a strbuf
remote-curl: make refs_url a strbuf

http: provide effective url to callers
http: hoist credential request out of handle_curl_result
http: refactor options to http_get_*
http_request: factor out curlinfo_strbuf
http_get_file: style fixes
For efficiency and security reasons, an earlier commit in
this series taught http_get_* to re-write the base url based
on redirections we saw while making a specific request.
This commit wires that option into the info/refs request,
meaning that a redirect from
http://example.com/foo.git/info/refs
to
https://example.com/bar.git/info/refs
will behave as if "https://example.com/bar.git" had been
provided to git in the first place.
The tests bear some explanation. We introduce two new
hierearchies into the httpd test config:
1. Requests to /smart-redir-limited will work only for the
initial info/refs request, but not any subsequent
requests. As a result, we can confirm whether the
client is re-rooting its requests after the initial
contact, since otherwise it will fail (it will ask for
"repo.git/git-upload-pack", which is not redirected).
2. Requests to smart-redir-auth will redirect, and require
auth after the redirection. Since we are using the
redirected base for further requests, we also update
the credential struct, in order not to mislead the user
(or credential helpers) about which credential is
needed. We can therefore check the GIT_ASKPASS prompts
to make sure we are prompting for the new location.
Because we have neither multiple servers nor https
support in our test setup, we can only redirect between
paths, meaning we need to turn on
credential.useHttpPath to see the difference.

When we are handling a curl response code in http_request or
in the remote-curl RPC code, we use the handle_curl_result
helper to translate curl's response into an easy-to-use
code. When we see an HTTP 401, we do one of two things:
1. If we already had a filled-in credential, we mark it as
rejected, and then return HTTP_NOAUTH to indicate to
the caller that we failed.
2. If we didn't, then we ask for a new credential and tell
the caller HTTP_REAUTH to indicate that they may want
to try again.
Rejecting in the first case makes sense; it is the natural
result of the request we just made. However, prompting for
more credentials in the second step does not always make
sense. We do not know for sure that the caller is going to
make a second request, and nor are we sure that it will be
to the same URL. Logically, the prompt belongs not to the
request we just finished, but to the request we are (maybe)
about to make.
In practice, it is very hard to trigger any bad behavior.
Currently, if we make a second request, it will always be to
the same URL (even in the face of redirects, because curl
handles the redirects internally). And we almost always
retry on HTTP_REAUTH these days. The one exception is if we
are streaming a large RPC request to the server (e.g., a
pushed packfile), in which case we cannot restart. It's
extremely unlikely to see a 401 response at this stage,
though, as we would typically have seen it when we sent a
probe request, before streaming the data.
This patch drops the automatic prompt out of case 2, and
instead requires the caller to do it. This is a few extra
lines of code, and the bug it fixes is unlikely to come up
in practice. But it is conceptually cleaner, and paves the
way for better handling of credentials across redirects.

Over time, the http_get_strbuf function has grown several
optional parameters. We now have a bitfield with multiple
boolean options, as well as an optional strbuf for returning
the content-type of the response. And a future patch in this
series is going to add another strbuf option.
Treating these as separate arguments has a few downsides:
1. Most call sites need to add extra NULLs and 0s for the
options they aren't interested in.
2. The http_get_* functions are actually wrappers around
2 layers of low-level implementation functions. We have
to pass these options through individually.
3. The http_get_strbuf wrapper learned these options, but
nobody bothered to do so for http_get_file, even though
it is backed by the same function that does understand
the options.
Let's consolidate the options into a single struct. For the
common case of the default options, we'll allow callers to
simply pass a NULL for the options struct.
The resulting code is often a few lines longer, but it ends
up being easier to read (and to change as we add new
options, since we do not need to update each call site).

defeating the safety pretty easily). It is suitable only for the

If an http request to a remote git server fails, we show

for particular codes. This gives the server no opportunity

failure, or to give extra advice.
This patch teaches remote-curl to record and display the

responses when the content-type is advertised as text/plain,
as it is the most likely to look presentable on the user's
terminal (and it is hoped to be a good indication that the
message is intended for git clients, and not for a web
browser).
Each line of the new output is prepended with "remote:".
Example output may look like this (assuming the server is
configured to display such a helpful message):
$ GIT_SMART_HTTP=0 git clone https://example.com/some/repo.git
Cloning into 'repo'...
remote: Sorry, fetching via dumb http is forbidden.
remote: Please upgrade your git client to v1.6.6 or greater
remote: and make sure that smart-http is enabled.
error: The requested URL returned error: 403 while accessing http://localhost:5001/some/repo.git/info/refs
fatal: HTTP request failed
For the sake of simplicity, we only record and display these
errors during the initial fetch of the ref list, as that is
the initial contact with the server and where the most
common, interesting errors happen (and there is already
precedent, as that is the only place we currently massage
http error codes into more helpful messages).

When remote-curl receives a list of refs from a server, it
keeps the whole buffer intact. When we get a "list" command,
we feed the result to get_remote_heads, and when we get a
"fetch" or "push" command, we feed it to fetch-pack or
send-pack, respectively.
If the HTTP response from the server is truncated for any
reason, we will get an incomplete ref advertisement. If we
then feed this incomplete list to fetch-pack, one of a few
things may happen:
1. If the truncation is in a packet header, fetch-pack
will notice the bogus line and complain.
2. If the truncation is inside a packet, fetch-pack will
keep waiting for us to send the rest of the packet,
which we never will.
3. If the truncation is at a packet boundary, fetch-pack
will keep waiting for us to send the next packet, which
we never will.
As a result, fetch-pack hangs, waiting for input. However,
remote-curl believes it has sent all of the advertisement,
and therefore waits for fetch-pack to speak. The two
processes end up in a deadlock.
We do notice the broken ref list if we feed it to
get_remote_heads. So if git asks the helper to do a "list"
followed by a "fetch", we are safe; we'll abort during the
list operation, which parses the refs.
This patch teaches remote-curl to always parse and save the
incoming ref list when we read the ref advertisement from a
server. That means that we will always verify and abort
before even running fetch-pack (or send-pack) when reading a
corrupted list, even if we do not run the "list" command
explicitly.
Since we save the result, in the common case of running
"list" then "fetch", we do not do any extra parsing at all.
In the case of just a "fetch", we do an extra round of
parsing, but only once.
Note also that the "fetch" case will now also initialize
server_capabilities from the remote (in remote-curl; we
already would do so inside fetch-pack). Doing "list+fetch"
already does this. It doesn't actually matter now, but the

The packet_read function reads from a descriptor. The
packet_get_line function is similar, but reads from an
in-memory buffer, and uses a completely separate
implementation. This patch teaches the generic packet_read
function to accept either source, and we can do away with
packet_get_line's implementation.
There are two other differences to account for between the
old and new functions. The first is that we used to read
into a strbuf, but now read into a fixed size buffer. The
only two callers are fine with that, and in fact it
simplifies their code, since they can use the same
static-buffer interface as the rest of the packet_read_line
callers (and we provide a similar convenience wrapper for
reading from a buffer rather than a descriptor).
This is technically an externally-visible behavior change in
that we used to accept arbitrary sized packets up to 65532
bytes, and now cap out at LARGE_PACKET_MAX, 65520. In
practice this doesn't matter, as we use it only for parsing
smart-http headers (of which there is exactly one defined,
and it is small and fixed-size). And any extension headers
would be breaking the protocol to go over LARGE_PACKET_MAX
anyway.
The other difference is that packet_get_line would return
on error rather than dying. However, both callers of
packet_get_line are actually improved by dying.
The first caller does its own error checking, but we can
drop that; as a result, we'll actually get more specific
reporting about protocol breakage when packet_read dies
internally. The only downside is that packet_read will not
print the smart-http URL that failed, but that's not a big
deal; anybody not debugging can already see the remote's URL
already, and anybody debugging would want to run with
GIT_CURL_VERBOSE anyway to see way more information.
The second caller, which is just trying to skip past any
extra smart-http headers (of which there are none defined,
but which we allow to keep room for future expansion), did
not error check at all. As a result, it would treat an error
just like a flush packet. The resulting mess would generally
cause an error later in get_remote_heads, but now we get
error reporting much closer to the source of the problem.

The packets sent during ref negotiation are all terminated
by newline; even though the code to chomp these newlines is
short, we end up doing it in a lot of places.
This patch teaches packet_read_line to auto-chomp the
trailing newline; this lets us get rid of a lot of inline
chomping code.
As a result, some call-sites which are not reading
line-oriented data (e.g., when reading chunks of packfiles
alongside sideband) transition away from packet_read_line to
the generic packet_read interface. This patch converts all
of the existing callsites.
Since the function signature of packet_read_line does not
change (but its behavior does), there is a possibility of
new callsites being introduced in later commits, silently
introducing an incompatibility. However, since a later
patch in this series will change the signature, such a
commit would have to be merged directly into this commit,
not to the tip of the series; we can therefore ignore the
issue.
This is an internal cleanup and should produce no change of
behavior in the normal case. However, there is one corner
case to note. Callers of packet_read_line have never been
able to tell the difference between a flush packet ("0000")
and an empty packet ("0004"), as both cause packet_read_line
to return a length of 0. Readers treat them identically,
even though Documentation/technical/protocol-common.txt says
we must not; it also says that implementations should not
send an empty pkt-line.
By stripping out the newline before the result gets to the
caller, we will now treat the newline-only packet ("0005\n")
the same as an empty packet, which in turn gets treated like
a flush packet. In practice this doesn't matter, as neither
empty nor newline-only packets are part of git's protocols
(at least not for the line-oriented bits, and readers who
are not expecting line-oriented packets will be calling
packet_read directly, anyway). But even if we do decide to
care about the distinction later, it is orthogonal to this
patch. The right place to tighten would be to stop treating
empty packets as flush packets, and this change does not
make doing so any harder.

Fixes fetch from servers that ask for auth only during the actual
packing phase. This is not really a recommended configuration, but it
cleans up the code at the same time.
* jk/maint-http-half-auth-fetch:
remote-curl: retry failed requests for auth even with gzip
remote-curl: hoist gzip buffer size to top of post_rpc
Commit b81401c taught the post_rpc function to retry the
http request after prompting for credentials. However, it
did not handle two cases:
1. If we have a large request, we do not retry. That's OK,
since we would have sent a probe (with retry) already.
2. If we are gzipping the request, we do not retry. That
was considered OK, because the intended use was for
push (e.g., listing refs is OK, but actually pushing
objects is not), and we never gzip on push.
This patch teaches post_rpc to retry even a gzipped request.
This has two advantages:
1. It is possible to configure a "half-auth" state for
fetching, where the set of refs and their sha1s are
advertised, but one cannot actually fetch objects.
This is not a recommended configuration, as it leaks
some information about what is in the repository (e.g.,
an attacker can try brute-forcing possible content in
your repository and checking whether it matches your
branch sha1). However, it can be slightly more
convenient, since a no-op fetch will not require a
password at all.
2. It future-proofs us should we decide to ever gzip more
requests.

* jk/maint-http-half-auth-push:
http: fix segfault in handle_curl_result
When we get an http 401, we prompt for credentials and put
them in our global credential struct. We also feed them to
the curl handle that produced the 401, with the intent that
they will be used on a retry.
When the code was originally introduced in commit 42653c0,
this was a necessary step. However, since dfa1725, we always
feed our global credential into every curl handle when we
initialize the slot with get_active_slot. So every further
request already feeds the credential to curl.
Moreover, accessing the slot here is somewhat dubious. After
the slot has produced a response, we don't actually control
it any more. If we are using curl_multi, it may even have
been re-initialized to handle a different request.
It just so happens that we will reuse the curl handle within
the slot in such a case, and that because we only keep one
global credential, it will be the one we want. So the
current code is not buggy, but it is misleading.
By cleaning it up, we can remove the slot argument entirely
from handle_curl_result, making it much more obvious that
slots should not be accessed after they are marked as
finished.

Commit b81401c (http: prompt for credentials on failed POST)
taught post_rpc to call run_slot in a loop in order to retry
a request after asking the user for credentials. However,
after a call to run_slot we will have called
finish_active_slot. This means we have released the slot,
and we should no longer look at it.
As it happens, this does not cause any bugs in the current
code, since we know that we are not using curl_multi in this
code path, and therefore nobody will have taken over our
slot in the meantime. However, it is good form to actually
call get_active_slot again. It also future proofs us against
changes in the http code.
We can do this by jumping back to a retry label at the top
of our function. We just need to reorder a few setup lines
that should not be repeated; everything else within the loop
is either idempotent, needs to be repeated, or in a path we
do not follow (e.g., we do not even try when large_request
is set, because we don't know how much data we might have
streamed from our helper program).

When we create an http active_request_slot, we can set its
"results" pointer back to local storage. The http code will
fill in the details of how the request went, and we can
access those details even after the slot has been cleaned
up.
Commit 8809703 (http: factor out http error code handling)
switched us from accessing our local results struct directly
to accessing it via the "results" pointer of the slot. That
means we're accessing the slot after it has been marked as
finished, defeating the whole purpose of keeping the results
storage separate.
Most of the time this doesn't matter, as finishing the slot
does not actually clean up the pointer. However, when using
curl's multi interface with the dumb-http revision walker,
we might actually start a new request before handing control
back to the original caller. In that case, we may reuse the
slot, zeroing its results pointer, and leading the original
caller to segfault while looking for its results inside the
slot.
Instead, we need to pass a pointer to our local results
storage to the handle_curl_result function, rather than
relying on the pointer in the slot struct. This matches what
the original code did before the refactoring (which did not
use a separate function, and therefore just accessed the
results struct directly).

Allows users to turn off smart-http when talking to dumb-only
servers.
* jk/smart-http-switch:
remote-curl: let users turn off smart http
remote-curl: rename is_http variable
Usually there is no need for users to specify whether an
http remote is smart or dumb; the protocol is designed so
that a single initial request is made, and the client can
determine the server's capability from the response.
However, some misconfigured dumb-only servers may not like
the initial request by a smart client, as it contains a
query string. Until recently, commit 703e6e7 worked around
this by making a second request. However, that commit was
recently reverted due to its side effect of masking the
initial request's error code.
Since git has had that workaround for several years, we
don't know exactly how many such misconfigured servers are
out there. The reversion of 703e6e7 assumes they are rare
enough not to worry about. Still, that reversion leaves
somebody who does run into such a server with no escape
hatch at all. Let's give them an environment variable they
can tweak to perform the "dumb" request.
This is intentionally not a documented interface. It's
overly simple and is really there for debugging in case
somebody does complain about git not working with their
server. A real user-facing interface would entail a
per-remote or per-URL config variable.

Some HTTP servers try to use gzip compression on the /info/refs
request to save transfer bandwidth. Repositories with many tags
may find the /info/refs request can be gzipped to be 50% of the
original size due to the few but often repeated bytes used (hex
SHA-1 and commonly digits in tag names).
For most HTTP requests enable "Accept-Encoding: gzip" ensuring
the /info/refs payload can use this encoding format.
Only request gzip encoding from servers. Although deflate is
supported by libcurl, most servers have standardized on gzip
encoding for compression as that is what most browsers support.
Asking for deflate increases request sizes by a few bytes, but is
unlikely to ever be used by a server.
Disable the Accept-Encoding header on probe RPCs as response bodies
are supposed to be exactly 4 bytes long, "0000". The HTTP headers
requesting and indicating compression use more space than the data
transferred in the body.

Retrying without the query parameter was added as a workaround

patched Git with this fallback and have been paying for it since.
Most Git hosting services configure the smart HTTP protocol and the
retry logic confuses users when there is a transient HTTP error as
Git dropped the real error from the smart HTTP request. Removing the
retry makes root causes easier to identify.

All of the smart-http GET requests go through the http_get_*
functions, which will prompt for credentials and retry if we
see an HTTP 401.
POST requests, however, do not go through any central point.
Moreover, it is difficult to retry in the general case; we
cannot assume the request body fits in memory or is even
seekable, and we don't know how much of it was consumed
during the attempt.
Most of the time, this is not a big deal; for both fetching
and pushing, we make a GET request before doing any POSTs,
so typically we figure out the credentials during the first
request, then reuse them during the POST. However, some
servers may allow a client to get the list of refs from
receive-pack without authentication, and then require
authentication when the client actually tries to POST the
pack.
This is not ideal, as the client may do a non-trivial amount
of work to generate the pack (e.g., delta-compressing
objects). However, for a long time it has been the
recommended example configuration in git-http-backend(1) for
setting up a repository with anonymous fetch and
authenticated push. This setup has always been broken
without putting a username into the URL. Prior to commit
986bbc0, it did work with a username in the URL, because git
would prompt for credentials before making any requests at
all. However, post-986bbc0, it is totally broken. Since it
has been advertised in the manpage for some time, we should
make sure it works.
Unfortunately, it is not as easy as simply calling post_rpc
again when it fails, due to the input issue mentioned above.
However, we can still make this specific case work by
retrying in two specific instances:
1. If the request is large (bigger than LARGE_PACKET_MAX),
we will first send a probe request with a single flush
packet. Since this request is static, we can freely
retry it.
2. If the request is small and we are not using gzip, then
we have the whole thing in-core, and we can freely
retry.
That means we will not retry in some instances, including:
1. If we are using gzip. However, we only do so when
calling git-upload-pack, so it does not apply to
pushes.
2. If we have a large request, the probe succeeds, but
then the real POST wants authentication. This is an
extremely unlikely configuration and not worth worrying
about.
While it might be nice to cover those instances, doing so
would be significantly more complex for very little
real-world gain. In the long run, we will be much better off
when curl learns to internally handle authentication as a
callback, and we can cleanly handle all cases that way.

When "git fetch" encounters repositories with too many references, the

The send_pack function gets a "progress" flag saying "yes,
definitely show progress" or "no, definitely do not show
progress". This gets set properly by transport_push when
send_pack is called directly.
However, when the send-pack command is executed separately
(as it is for the remote-curl helper), there is no way to
tell it "definitely do this". As a result, we do not
properly respect "git push --no-progress" for smart-http
remotes; you will still get progress if stderr is a tty.
This patch teaches send-pack --progress and --no-progress,
and teaches remote-curl to pass the appropriate option to
override send-pack's isatty check. This fixes the
--no-progress case above, and as a bonus, also makes "git

The protocol between transport-helper.c and remote-curl requires
remote-curl to always print a blank line after the push command
has run. If the blank line is ommitted, transport-helper kills its
container process (the git push the user started) with exit(128)
and no message indicating a problem, assuming the helper already
printed reasonable error text to the console.
However if the remote rejects all branches with "ng" commands in the
report-status reply, send-pack terminates with non-zero status, and
in turn remote-curl exited with non-zero status before outputting
the blank line after the helper status printed by send-pack. No
error messages reach the user.
This caused users to see the following from git push over HTTP
when the remote side's update hook rejected the branch:
$ git push http://... master
Counting objects: 4, done.
Delta compression using up to 6 threads.
Compressing objects: 100% (2/2), done.
Writing objects: 100% (3/3), 301 bytes, done.

Always print a blank line after the send-pack process terminates,
ensuring the helper status report (if it was output) will be

When receive-pack advertises its list of refs, it generally hides the
capabilities information after a NUL at the end of the first ref.
However, when we have an empty repository, there are no refs, and
therefore receive-pack writes a fake ref "capabilities^{}" with the
capabilities afterwards.
On the client side, git reads the result with get_remote_heads(). We pick
the capabilities from the end of the line, and then call check_ref() to
make sure the ref name is valid. We see that it isn't, and don't bother
adding it to our list of refs.
However, the call to check_ref() is enabled by passing the REF_NORMAL flag
to get_remote_heads. For the regular git transport, we pass REF_NORMAL in
get_refs_via_connect() if we are doing a push (since only receive-pack
uses this fake ref). But in remote-curl, we never use this flag, and we
accept the fake ref as a real one, passing it back from the helper to the
parent git-push.
Most of the time this bug goes unnoticed, as the fake ref won't match our
refspecs. However, if "--mirror" is used, then we see it as remote cruft
to be pruned, and try to pass along a deletion refspec for it. Of course
this refspec has bogus syntax (because of the ^{}), and the helper
complains, aborting the push.
Let's have remote-curl mirror what the builtin get_refs_via_connect() does
(at least for the case of using git protocol; we can leave the dumb
info/refs reader as it is).
This also fixes pushing with --mirror to a smart-http remote that uses
alternates. The fake ".have" refs the server gives to avoid unnecessary
network transfer has a similar bad interactions with the machinery.

Before commit 986bbc08, git was proactive about asking for

before making any http requests.
However, this could interfere with the use of .netrc (see
986bbc08 for details). And it was also unnecessary, since
the http fetching code had learned to recognize an HTTP 401
and prompt the user then. Furthermore, the proactive prompt
could interfere with the usage of .netrc (see 986bbc08 for

Unfortunately, the http push-over-DAV code never learned to

Adding a new command line option to receive-pack and feed it from
send-pack is not an acceptable way to add features, as there is no
guarantee that your updated send-pack will be talking to updated
receive-pack. New features need to be added via the capability mechanism
negotiated over the protocol.

When fetching an http URL, we first try fetching info/refs
with an extra "service" parameter. This will work for a
smart-http server, or a dumb server which ignores extra
parameters when fetching files. If that fails, we retry
without the extra parameter to remain compatible with dumb
servers which didn't like our first request.
If the server returned a "401 Unauthorized", indicating that
the credentials we provided were not good, there is not much
point in retrying. With the current code, we just waste an
extra round trip to the HTTP server before failing.
But as the http code becomes smarter about throwing away
rejected credentials and re-prompting the user for new ones
(which it will later in this series), this will become more
confusing. At some point we will stop asking for credentials
to retry smart http, and will be asking for credentials to
retry dumb http. So now we're not only wasting an extra HTTP
round trip for something that is unlikely to work, but we're
making the user re-type their password for it.

sha1_file.c
The size of objects we read from the repository and data we try to put
into the repository are represented in "unsigned long", so that on larger
architectures we can handle objects that weigh more than 4GB.
But the interface defined in zlib.h to communicate with inflate/deflate
limits avail_in (how many bytes of input are we calling zlib with) and
avail_out (how many bytes of output from zlib are we ready to accept)
fields effectively to 4GB by defining their type to be uInt.
In many places in our code, we allocate a large buffer (e.g. mmap'ing a
large loose object file) and tell zlib its size by assigning the size to
avail_in field of the stream, but that will truncate the high octets of
the real size. The worst part of this story is that we often pass around
z_stream (the state object used by zlib) to keep track of the number of
used bytes in input/output buffer by inspecting these two fields, which
practically limits our callchain to the same 4GB limit.
Wrap z_stream in another structure git_zstream that can express avail_in
and avail_out in unsigned long. For now, just die() when the caller gives
a size that cannot be given to a single zlib call. In later patches in the
series, we would make git_inflate() and git_deflate() internally loop to
give callers an illusion that our "improved" version of zlib interface can
operate on a buffer larger than 4GB in one go.

Wrap deflateInit, deflate, and deflateEnd for everybody, and the sole use
of deflateInit2 in remote-curl.c to tell the library to use gzip header
and trailer in git_deflate_init_gzip().
There is only one caller that cares about the status from deflateEnd().
Introduce git_deflate_end_gently() to let that sole caller retrieve the
status and act on it (i.e. die) for now, but we would probably want to
make inflate_end/deflate_end die when they ran out of memory and get

Force it to disable this feature, as not all proxy servers support

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.

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.

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.

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.

remote-curl.c
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.

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.

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.
