Moin,
I tried to setup git-http-backend with iis, as iis provides proper impersonation for cgi under windows, which leads to have the filesystem access performed with the logon user, therefore the webserver doesn't need generic access to the files.
I stumbled across a problem, ending up with post requests hanging forever.
After some investigation I managed to get it work by wrapping the http-backend into a bash script, giving a lot of control about the environmental things, I was unable to solve within IIS configuration.
The workaround, I use currently, is to use "/bin/head -c ${CONTENT_LENGTH} | ./git-http-backend.exe", which directly shows the issue.
Git http-backend should check if CONTENT_LENGTH is set to something reasonable (e.g. >0) and should in this case read only CONTENT_LENGTH bytes from stdin, instead of reading till EOF what I suspect it is doing currently.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen / With kind regards
