One had to configure gitweb for it to find static files (stylesheets, images) when using path_info URLs. Now that it is not necessary thanks to adding BASE element to HTML head if needed, update README to reflect this fact. Signed-off-by: Jakub Narebski <jnareb@xxxxxxxxx> --- This is update of gitweb/README to fit state after Giuseppe patches. There is a little problem either with terminology, or with CGI.pm module itself. RFC 1808 "Relative Uniform Resource Locators" says that: http://git.example.com/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi is absolute URL /cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi is relative URL but absolute path gitweb.cgi is relative URL and relative path while CGI.pm (or, to be more exact, its url() method) says: url() or url(-full) returns http://git.example.com/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi url(-absolute) returns /cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi url(-relative) returns gitweb.cgi (or /cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi) That is why I used "Full URL" for $my_url = $cgi->url(); and "absolute URL" (as before) for $my_uri = $cgi->url(-absolute); in gitweb/README. gitweb/README | 10 ++++------ 1 files changed, 4 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/gitweb/README b/gitweb/README index 52ad88b..a9dc2e5 100644 --- a/gitweb/README +++ b/gitweb/README @@ -162,14 +162,12 @@ not include variables usually directly set during build): $GITWEB_LIST during installation.
