Hello list, I had been banging my head all morning trying to figure out why I couldn’t get a little HTTP implementation to clone/push via the smart protocol (just wrapping git-receive-pack/git-upload-pack). I kept getting the following (likely familiar to some) error:
``` fatal: Could not read from remote repository. Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists. ``` I didn’t get an insight until I ran with GIT_TRACE_PACKET=true on a known-good remote (i.e. GitHub), that the null packet-line `0000` has to follow the service line. This is not reflected in the example here: https://github.com/git/git/blob/6464679d9620d91b639e2681b9cc6473f3856d09/Documentation/technical/http-protocol.txt#L216 It is also not reflected in the BNF: https://github.com/git/git/blob/6464679d9620d91b639e2681b9cc6473f3856d09/Documentation/technical/http-protocol.txt#L279 (Note these links are from the most recent commit of this file as of this writing.) Just thought somebody would like to know. Regards, -- Dorian Taylor Make things. Make sense. https://doriantaylor.com
