[PATCH] Add unix domain socket support to HTTP transport.

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

 



From: Leslie Cheng <leslie.cheng5@xxxxxxxxx>

This changeset introduces an `http.unixSocket` option so that users can
proxy their git over HTTP remotes to a unix domain socket. In terms of
why, since UDS are local and git already has a local protocol: some
corporate environments use a UDS to proxy requests to internal resources
(ie. source control), so this change would support those use-cases. This
proxy can occasionally be necessary to attach MFA tokens or client
certificates for CLI tools.

The implementation leverages `--unix-socket` option [0] via the
`CURLOPT_UNIX_SOCKET_PATH` flag available with libcurl [1].

`GIT_CURL_HAVE_CURLOPT_UNIX_SOCKET_PATH` and `NO_UNIX_SOCKETS` were kept
separate so that we can spit out better error messages for users if git
was compiled with `NO_UNIX_SOCKETS`.
