Subject: Git Daemon Dummy: 301 Redirects for git:// to https://
Message-ID: <CAHmME9rTpGNHMKbXD48oBYm136=u79YiHjX5hm8ZYC4xSThJsA@mail.gmail.com>

Hi folks,

In case anyone else finds this useful, I wrote this:

https://git.zx2c4.com/git-daemon-dummy/about/

It's an epoll-based responder for git:// that simply returns an error
telling users of a new URI. The purpose is to phase out git-daemon in
favor of more secure TLS/HTTPS endpoints. With HTTPS certificates now
being free, seems like this could be useful.

My personal motivation is that I'd like to just totally kill the
git-daemon service, but somebody hard coded a URI of mine into a real
printed textbook [1], so I don't want it to go stale suddenly. So, I
need some way of informing users of the new URI.

Let me know what you think.

Jason
