I have read your blog post on Smart HTTP (http://git-scm.com/blog/2010/03/04/smart-http.html) and wondered if there is any documentation that compares in terms of thoroughness with your sections in the book on using SSH, which does explain the basics so that "anyone" can get it working. I have tried setting up authenticated pull and push with HTTP (not HTTPS) and Apache never asks for authentication during a pull and refuses a push with a 403 error. Regards, John Norris ``` ## Konstantin Khomoutov, 2014-10-13 18:58 Subject: Re: Smart HTTP Message-ID: <20141013225822.47d4deb70751eeb4915f69d6@domain007.com> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20141013225822.47d4deb70751eeb4915f69d6%40domain007.com In-Reply-To: ``` On Mon, 13 Oct 2014 17:29:05 +0000 "John Norris" wrote: > I guess this comment is aimed at Scott Chacon. > I have read your blog post on Smart HTTP > (http://git-scm.com/blog/2010/03/04/smart-http.html) and wondered if > there is any documentation that compares in terms of thoroughness > with your sections in the book on using SSH, which does explain the > basics so that "anyone" can get it working. > I have tried setting up authenticated pull and push with HTTP (not > HTTPS) and Apache never asks for authentication during a pull and > refuses a push with a 403 error. Looks like a sort-of followup to this discussion [1]. (John, being a good netizen, you should have included the link to that discussion yourself, to put your uh comment in context and may be actually get some useful responses.) 1. https://groups.google.com/d/topic/git-users/zcXYY1Le_F4/discussion ```
