Subject: [PATCH] update git-http-backend doc for lighttpd
Date: Wed, 12 Feb 2020 03:52:30 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <pull.546.git.git.1581479550353.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)

From: Glenn Strauss <gstrauss@gluelogic.com>

git-http-backend may be found at /usr/libexec/git-core/git-http-backend

scope lighttpd config directives for git-http-backend under "^/git"

Note:
lighttpd 1.4.51 setenv.add-environment does not add vars with empty value.
so use "GIT_HTTP_EXPORT_ALL" => "1" (with a value) in lighttpd 1.4.51.
lighttpd setenv.set-environment does, but was only introduced in 1.4.46
lighttpd 1.4.52 setenv.add-environment restores prior lighttpd 1.4.50
behavior.
