All Fossil / CGI requests must be processed through this Perl script. Thus,
I concluded, Fossil/CGI cannot possibly work on Windows/IIS without

Fossil assumes that PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME are set up as described in
RFC3875. If what you say is correct, ISS appears not to follow RFC3875 and
hence does not really support CGI, but rather something that is merely
CGI-like.

The main Fossil website (http://www.fossil-scm.org/) is just an instance
of Fossil running on a Linux box as CGI. See
http://www.fossil-scm.org/fossil/doc/trunk/www/selfhost.wiki for
additional information, including the scripts used to enable CGI on the
various Fossil mirrors.
Q: Can somebody please explain what is or isn’t happening in Linux that is

Re: [fossil-users] Fossil on IIS
IIS/CGI sets the following environmental variable:
SERVER_SOFTWARE=Microsoft-IIS/6.0
So you could look for that.
IIS has another bug that prevents Set-Cookie and Redirection within the same
HTTP response. IIS tries to be efficient by executing the redirection without
involving the browser but fails to pass along the cookie so the Login/Logout
pages don't work. I had to script around that too. Now that I've got all that
worked out I'm battling the Active Directory security model. Painful.
Are you sure you want to start modifying Fossil to compensate for IIS
idiosyncrasies (bugs)? Judging by the lack of responses I've gotten, I don't
think there are too many Fossil on IIS/CGI users out there. A Wiki page with
detailed instructions might suffice.

Re: [fossil-users] Fossil on IIS
Same shit with IIS 7.5. Good news is that I won't have to upgrade the server. I'll have script around it somehow. So, clicking the Login button on the Login page returns this: Status: 302 Moved Temporarily Set-Cookie: fossil_login_3213c06d=anon%2F2455644...

Instead, IIS redirects automatically but forgets to pass the cookie. Wouldn't this suffice?

Re: [fossil-users] Fossil on IIS
This is what I've got: - All our project files area stored on a shared file server (Windows Server 2003) - We have multiple clients - Clients have one or more projects - Clients could have multiple locations - Projects could have one or more subprojects - Each client/location/project/subproject has a folder - Each project or subproject will have a Fossil repository on the server - Each repository will be kept in the appropriate project or subproject folder Here is an example directory structure on the file server: \Projects \Client1 (This client has multiple locations) \Location1 \Project1 (This project has subprojects) \Subproject1 \Subproject2 \Subproject3 \Project2 (This project has no subprojects) \Project3 (This project has no subprojects) ... \Location2 ... \Location3 ... \Client2 (This client has only one location) \Project1 \Project2 \Project3 ... \Client3 ... Clearly, all the Fossil repositories will not be stored in the same folder. I'm testing a Perl script that'll sort it all out and invoke Fossil using CGI as required. Almost there. One last hurdle: The script generates a Fossil.cgi file dynamically, as needed, per repository, then invokes Fossil. The initial CGI file looks like this: #!\Program Files\Fossil\Fossil repository: \Projects\Client\Location\Project\repository.fossil Subsequently, the browser comes back asking for resources referenced in the resulting HTML: img src=/cgi-bin/Fossil.pl/logo alt=logo / It's obviously asking for the logo within the repository it just accessed. Q: How should the CGI script invoke Fossil to request these internal resources? I tried: #!\Program Files\Fossil\Fossil repository: \Projects\Client\Location\Project\repository.fossil/logo without success. Please advise.

The CGI is quite a defined interface, telling any query information through environment variables, and expecting any answer in stdout. ___ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
[fossil-users] Fossil on IIS
Anybody get Fossil working as a CGI script on Microsoft Server 2003 / IIS? I'm trying to access multiple repositories with one script as described at: http://www.fossil-scm.org/index.html/doc/trunk/www/server.wiki Learned more than I ever wanted to know about IIS/CGI/Scripting.
