email filter::
- This filter is given two parameters: the email address of the relevent
+ This filter is given two parameters: the email address of the relevant
author and a string indicating the originating page. The filter will
then receive the text string to format on standard input and is
expected to write to standard output the formatted text to be included
in the page.
+owner filter::
+ This filter is given no arguments. The owner text is available on
+ standard input and the filter is expected to write to standard
+ output. The output is included in the Owner column.
+
source filter::
This filter is given a single parameter: the filename of the source
file to filter. The filter can use the filename to determine (for
file that is to be filtered is available on standard input and the
filtered contents is expected on standard output.
-Also, all filters are handed the following environment variables:
+auth filter::
+ The authentication filter receives 12 parameters:
+ - filter action, explained below, which specifies which action the
+ filter is called for
+ - http cookie
+ - http method
+ - http referer
+ - http path
+ - http https flag
+ - cgit repo
+ - cgit page
+ - cgit url
+ - cgit login url
+ When the filter action is "body", this filter must write to output the
+ HTML for displaying the login form, which POSTs to the login url. When
+ the filter action is "authenticate-cookie", this filter must validate
+ the http cookie and return a 0 if it is invalid or 1 if it is invalid,
+ in the exit code / close function. If the filter action is
+ "authenticate-post", this filter receives POST'd parameters on
+ standard input, and should write a complete CGI response, preferably
+ with a 302 redirect, and write to output one or more "Set-Cookie"
+ HTTP headers, each followed by a newline.
+
+ Please see `filters/simple-authentication.lua` for a clear example
+ script that may be modified.
+
+
+All filters are handed the following environment variables:
- CGIT_REPO_URL (from repo.url)
- CGIT_REPO_NAME (from repo.name)
- repo.clone-url
+CACHE
+------
+
+All cache ttl values are in minutes. Negative ttl values indicate that a page
+type will never expire, and thus the first time a URL is accessed, the result
+will be cached indefinitely, even if the underlying git repository changes.
+Conversely, when a ttl value is zero, the cache is disabled for that
+particular page type, and the page type is never cached.
