[feature request] git-daemon http connection filtering of client types

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hey folks,

When I checked for false positives in my spam this morning, I spotted
an interesting malformed img link at the top of a spam message.

So, apparently git-daemon's http features are being used by spammers.
In most cases, spam filters will correctly identify this junk.

I wonder if there is a better way...  In my mental sandbox, git-daemon
http could have a set of deny/allow rules for incoming connection
client types.
e.g.:

git: allow
git-http: allow
thunderbird: deny
outlook express: replace linked file with rickroll.jpg

and so on..  An out-of-the-box install probably should default to
allow all to keep backward compatibility.

While I'd love a chance to hack something out, I sadly doubt I'll ever
have the time for it.  Perhaps there is a student hacker looking for a
project.

Cheers!

p.s. appologies to anyone who now has Astley's song stuck in their
head.  This was not intentional.
