From: porpen+git@gmail.com Date: Thu, 31 Jan 2013 12:46:55 GMT Subject: [feature request] git-daemon http connection filtering of client types Message-ID: Hey folks, When I checked for false positives in my spam this morning, I spotted an interesting malformed img link at the top of a spam message. {snip} > > > Employ a medal tiffany bracelet <{snip}> a is {snip} So, apparently git-daemon's http features are being used by spammers. In most cases, spam filters will correctly identify this junk. I wonder if there is a better way... In my mental sandbox, git-daemon http could have a set of deny/allow rules for incoming connection client types. e.g.: git: allow git-http: allow thunderbird: deny outlook express: replace linked file with rickroll.jpg and so on.. An out-of-the-box install probably should default to allow all to keep backward compatibility. While I'd love a chance to hack something out, I sadly doubt I'll ever have the time for it. Perhaps there is a student hacker looking for a project. Cheers! -phil p.s. appologies to anyone who now has Astley's song stuck in their head. This was not intentional.
