Subject: git smart protocol via WebSockets - feedback wanted
Message-ID: <jqlim2$6vt$1@dough.gmane.org>

Dear list,

Since I have been working on a proof of concept showing that git's smart 
protocol can be tunneled via WebSocket connections quite easily [0] I 
wanted to ask for some feedback on the idea in general and on my 
implementation [1].

So, basically, what do you think about tunneling git's smart protocol 
via WebSockets (and thus HTTP)?
Do you believe that a full implementation of this, as opposed to the 
current proof of concept, is worthwhile?
Are there any issues with this approach I missed (apart from the missing 
authentication/authorization in the server component of course)?

Thanks in advance for your input.

Regards,

Stephan
