Designing for asynchronous, non-blocking operations makes
adapting for synchronous, blocking operation easy.
Going the other way around is not easy, so do it now and
allow us to be more easily adapted for non-blocking use
in the next commit...

This allows us to stream the output to the client without buffering
everything up-front. Next, we'll let Danga::Socket (or AE in the
future) wait for readability.

Relying on Plack::Handler::CGI is much easier for long-term
maintenance and development.
Nowadays, we even include our own httpd implementation to
facilitate easier deployment with PSGI/Plack.
|

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.
