Skip cache slot when time-to-live is zero

2014-02-21T00:19:45+00:00

If time-to-live is set to zero, we don't need to regenerate the cache
slots on every request. Instead, just skip the caching process and
immediately provide the dynamically generated version of the page.
Setting time-to-live to zero is useful when you want to disable caching
for certain pages.

Add a cache-snapshot-ttl configuration variable

2014-02-20T18:56:44+00:00

This can be used to specify the TTL for snapshots. Snapshots are usually
static and do not ever change. On the other hand, tarball generation is
CPU intensive.

One use case of this setting (apart from increasing the lifetime of
snapshot cache slots) is caching of snapshots while disabling the cache
for static/dynamic HTML pages (by setting TTL to zero for everything
except for snapshot requests).

auth: have cgit calculate login address

2014-01-16T22:21:54+00:00

This way we're sure to use virtual root, or any other strangeness
encountered.

authentication: use hidden form instead of referer

2014-01-16T11:13:39+00:00

This also gives us some CSRF protection. Note that we make use of the
hmac to protect the redirect value.

auth: add basic authentication filter framework

2014-01-16T01:28:12+00:00

This leverages the new lua support. See
filters/simple-authentication.lua for explaination of how this works.
There is also additional documentation in cgitrc.5.txt.

Though this is a cookie-based approach, cgit's caching mechanism is
preserved for authenticated pages.

Very plugable and extendable depending on user needs.

The sample script uses an HMAC-SHA1 based cookie to store the
currently logged in user, with an expiration date.

filter: allow returning exit code from filter

2014-01-14T17:09:52+00:00

Filters can now indicate a status back to cgit by means of the exit code
for exec, or the return value from close for Lua.

cgitrc.5.txt: Fix documentation of the snapshot mask

2014-01-14T01:30:01+00:00

Mention that the snapshot setting only specifies the formats that links
are generated for and not the set of formats that are accessible via
HTTP.

filter: add page source to email filter

2014-01-14T01:00:07+00:00

Since the email filter is called from lots of places, the script might
benefit from knowing the origin. That way it can modify its contents
and/or size depending.
