This requires POST and (small file) upload support from the
PSGI/Plack web server. CGI.pm is currently not supported with
this feature.
We'll serve everything git can handle by default for performance
in the general case.
To avoid introducing cognitive overhead for sysadmins managing
existing HTTP backends, we do not introduce new configuration
directives.
Thus, setting http.uploadpack=false in the relevant git config
file for each public-inbox (ssoma) git repo will disable smart
HTTP for CPU/memory-constrained systems.
Technically we could support http.receivepack to allow posting
messages to a public-inbox over HTTP(S), but that breaks
the public-inbox model of encouraging users to Cc: everyone.
Again, we encourage users to Cc: everyone to reduce the chance
of a public-inbox becoming a centralized point of
failure/censorship.
|
|
This should not be dependent on what is in the users'
$HOME config, oops.
|
|
This is enabled by default, for now.
Smart HTTP cloning support will be added later, but it will
be optional since it can be highly CPU and memory intensive.
|
|
Add a few newlines for readability (perhaps at the expense of
economy). Stop mentioning "Open Source" as it is redundant
and "Free Software" fits our goals, better.
|
|
We should not hide the parent Message-ID in this view;
give the user the option to find the message in other archives.
|
|
The word "skip" can be confusing. Instead, spell out "scroll down"
for the user to read and only display that text when the thread
is sufficiently long.
|
|
There's no need to HTML escape a timestamp we generate ourselves.
We need to preserve the leading space and can't use the "oneline"
semantics to preserve alignment.
|
|
Inevitably, somebody will care about semantic HTML; but
preserving the original intent of the email author is
important.
|
|
Sometimes users forget trailing slashes; but we should not punish
them with infinite loops.
|
|
Oops :x
|
|
We should be able to use this for ASCII art and paragraphs
|
|
Not needed, but this is good documentation. Some of these values
should never have newlines.
|
|
Sometimes I contribute to projects with centralization-inducing
things like reply-to-list and bug trackers.
I dislike those things myself, but most of the time I can deal with
them... for now.
|
|
Reiterating reasons behind what we do might help drive our point
across better.
|
|
This project is currently implemented in Perl, and pod2man is
probably more common among potential users and developers of
this project.
|
|
We can avoid making getpeername syscalls this way.
|
|
HTML has one major advantage over plain text: <a href=...> links
That's about it.
|
|
The threaded search view is somewhat alien to new users,
so ensure we label the word "relevance" for them.
|
|
Strongly emphasize decentralization, as that was actually the
main impetus for my interest in git.
|
|
We'll probably want to continue supporting CGI for mod_perl
compatibility.
|
|
Enable deflater using a shorter string as we do with other
middlewares, and use single quotes to denote we do not need
interpolation.
|
|
We use query strings for search and index pages, so
we should not drop them if somebody types a URL by hand
and omits the trailing slash.
|
|
Oops, the rarely-accessed threaded search view was completely
broken. Additionally, the normal threading depths were broken
when we attempted to go up-thread and replies got nested
improperly
Followup to commit be984ce279776d4513b4ca1bff05ebecafdd1bad
("view: thread using <ul> instead of <table>")
|
|
Linking to the expanded thread page probably makes more sense
as it avoid unnecessary scanning for the thread summary.
|
|
We already use "` " (backtick + space) to denote one indentation
level, so do not excessively indent and always pad with one
level less of spaces.
The 'x' operator in Perl handles negative values, so subtracting
one from level=0 will result in an empty string without spaces.
|
|
On second viewing, this does render small cues which makes the
output more pleasant for lynx users. We avoid injecting the
root (level=0) message into a list since it still wastes
precious horizontal whitespace on small displays.
This also results in small reductions in bandwidth usage as
it takes fewer tags/whitespace to render unordered lists.
|
|
Fixes commit 83fedde4cde6539386c9d3ecf37fb99d74af8d93
("tests: fixup requirements for tests")
|
|
We should be able to run tests on bare bones systems more easily.
|
|
We'll continue developing and supporting ssoma, but it's unlikely to
gain much adoption in its current form; so stop cluttering up our
own README with it.
|
|
Shorter URLs are easier to read, remember, and more efficient.
|
|
While having the extra " feed" is noisy in the main topic
landing page, it is useful in headers/footers which have
plenty of space to be more descriptive.
|
|
Oops, we've had this forever and we also lacked a space
between the this was noticed while adding an extra
line between the "Search results ordered by" header
and actual messages.
|
|
Hopefully, "mbox.gz" is sufficiently understandabe that
we can get rid of the "title" attribute in <a> tags
(we already omitted the title in other pages).
Additionally, drop the '@' in front of the date.
The date should be obvious and is not necessary for
headers without author attribution.
|
|
Oops :x We need better testing...

("rename 'GitCatFile' package to 'Git'")
|

Fixes: commit 398e29344ecc43548a7d3998bb5d2fcee62d66cd
("view: favor whitespace wrap in <head>")
Oops.
|
|
If we bite the bullet and rely on inline CSS, we might as well
only specify it once per page instead of inline in every <pre>
tag which may handle UGC. So this actually saves us a small
amount of bandwith on most pages which have multiple <pre>
start tags.
|
|
HTTP/1.1 clients will want persistent connections and
need to know response terminations.
|
|
Ghost message links didn't show up too well after
commit bc067a7562a586bed92401fe1084bbe423b9451a
("view: move thread info near top of single view")
Additionally, attribution lacked a space when subjects changed
mid-thread.
|
|
Fixes commit 4c2c2325d2948ec5340e2fcafbee798cf568f5fd
("rename 'GitCatFile' package to 'Git'")
|

Most framed mail viewing software has message ancestry
information near the top instead of bottom (mutt, gmane,
sylpheed, thunderbird) as it can help improve context.
Traditional netiquette also favors writing replies below
quoted (older) text for this reason; so move the thread
summary to the top of the message for context.
Since threads may be long, add a "skip" anchor link to jump to
the message body quickly, and align the date to the left column
so it's easier to tell the relative age of messages.
While we're at it, remove quotes from "id" attributes to
improve ease-of-grep-ability.
|
|
Users may be iterating through lists and come up with nothing
|
|
We'll be using it for more than just cat-file.
Adding a `popen' API for internal use allows us to save a bunch
of code in other places.
|
|
The "cat_file" sub now allows a block to be passed for partial
processing. Additionally, a new "check" method is added to
retrieve only object metadata: (SHA-1 identifier, type, size)
|
|
User-generated content (UGC) may have excessively long lines
which screw up rendering. This is the only bit of CSS we use.
|
|
These will be reused elsewhere.
|
|
Sometimes users (me :x) blindly append "raw" to a /t/ URL...
|
|
Avoid truncating messages if we requested the root anchor.
This regression appeared in
commit 62ee3cb36dd08f17e444e96dc80108464ee10cba
("view: do not shorten top-level messages in thread view")
Also, make the "More..." link more prominent, as readers
should be made aware they're not reading the full message.
|
|
Avoid the visual noise entirely by using a space instead.
I sometimes have difficulty distinguishing '0' from '8' while
other users may mistake it for an 'O' character. Most digital
clocks I've seen will omit displaying a leading zero for the
hour, too.
This may also save transfer time by allowing better compression
(since there is a space between the date and time anyways) and
perhaps reduce client rendering time on some displays.
We'll leave the leading zero for minutes since that seems pretty
standard for digital clocks.
|
|
It's potentially unsafe (leading to hidden messages) at any level.
|
|
Just because a message is currently alone does not mean
the links won't be valid in the future when more messages
show up.
