If a URL rewrite switches the protocol to something nonstandard (like "persistent-https" for "https"), the user may be bitten by the fact that the default protocol restrictions are different between the two. Let's drop a note in insteadOf that points the user in the right direction. It would be nice if we could make this work out of the box, but we can't without knowing the security implications of the user's rewrite. Only the documentation for a particular remote helper can advise one way or the other. Since we do include the persistent-https helper in contrib/ (and since it was the helper in the real-world case that inspired that patch), let's also drop a note there.

git-remote-persistent-https
|
|
|
|
The git-remote-persistent-https binary speeds up SSL operations
|
|
by running a daemon job (git-remote-persistent-https--proxy) that
|
|
keeps a connection open to a server.
|
|
|
|
|
|
PRE-BUILT BINARIES

INSTALLING
|
|
|
|
Move all of the git-remote-persistent-http* binaries to a directory
|
|
in PATH.
|
|
|
|
|
|
USAGE
|
|
|
|
HTTPS requests can be delegated to the proxy by using the
|
|
"persistent-https" scheme, e.g.
|
|
|
|
git clone persistent-https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/git/git
|
|
|
|
Likewise, .gitconfig can be updated as follows to rewrite https urls
|
|
to use persistent-https:
|
|
|
|
[url "persistent-https"]
|
|
insteadof = https
|
|
[url "persistent-http"]
|
|
insteadof = http
|
|
|
|
You may also want to allow the use of the persistent-https helper for
|
|
submodule URLs (since any https URLs pointing to submodules will be
|
|
rewritten, and Git's out-of-the-box defaults forbid submodules from
|
|
using unknown remote helpers):
|
|
|
|
[protocol "persistent-https"]
|
|
allow = always
|
|
[protocol "persistent-http"]
|
|
allow = always
|

# BUILDING FROM SOURCE

LOCATION
|
|
|
|
The source is available in the contrib/persistent-https directory of
|
|
the Git source repository. The Git source repository is available at
|
|
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git/
|
|
https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/git/git

|
PREREQUISITES
|
|
|
|
The code is written in Go (http://golang.org/) and the Go compiler is
|
|
required. Currently, the compiler must be built and installed from tip
|
|
of source, in order to include a fix in the reverse http proxy:

|

|
|
|
|
BUILDING
|
|
|
|
Run "make" to build the binaries. See the section on
|
|
INSTALLING above.
