+julm: [11:58:35] han, it's me the problem; I was generating a post-update hook instead of a pre-receive hook
+julm: [12:03:59] why does the pre-receive hook return: "Status: 302 Found" and a "Location: "? Is it normal?
+julm: [00:08:44] it's Plugin/httpauth.pm which is outputing those Status and Location
+julm: [00:09:12] problem is that it's an anonymous push via git://
+julm: [03:28:53] hacked my way to fix it somehow: http://git.internet.alpes.fr.eu.org/?p=web/ikiwiki.git;a=commitdiff;h=7211df4f7457c3afab53822a97cbd21825c473f4

+ +Analysis: + +* IkiWiki::Receive calls `check_canedit`. +* httpauth's canedit hook returns an error handler function + which redirects the browser through the cgiauthurl. + (Similarly, signinedit's hook may call needsignin, which + can display a signin form. +* That doesn't work well when doing a git anon push. :) +* Also, IkiWiki::Receive calls `check_canattach` and + `check_canremove`, which both also call `check_canedit`. + +So, all these calls need to avoid running the error handler +functions returned by canedit hooks, and just return error +messages. -- cgit v1.2.3
