auth: further sanitize requests to prevent GET CSRF (CVE-2016-3691)
Routes allows GET requests to override the HTTP method, which breaks
the Kallithea CSRF protection (which only applies to POST requests).
This commit blocks such GET request, preventing CSRF attacks.

.. _vcs_support: =============================== Version control systems support =============================== Kallithea supports Git and Mercurial repositories out-of-the-box. For Git, you do need the ``git`` command line client installed on the server. You can always disable Git or Mercurial support by editing the file ``kallithea/__init__.py`` and commenting out the backend. .. code-block:: python BACKENDS = { 'hg': 'Mercurial repository', #'git': 'Git repository', } Git support ----------- Web server with chunked encoding ```````````````````````````````` Large Git pushes require an HTTP server with support for chunked encoding for POST. The Python web servers waitress_ and gunicorn_ (Linux only) can be used. By default, Kallithea uses waitress_ for `paster serve` instead of the built-in `paste` WSGI server. The paster server is controlled in the .ini file:: use = egg:waitress#main or:: use = egg:gunicorn#main Also make sure to comment out the following options:: threadpool_workers = threadpool_max_requests = use_threadpool = Mercurial support ----------------- Working with Mercurial subrepositories `````````````````````````````````````` This section explains how to use Mercurial subrepositories_ in Kallithea. Example usage:: ## init a simple repo hg init mainrepo cd mainrepo echo "file" > file hg add file hg ci --message "initial file" # clone subrepo we want to add from Kallithea hg clone http://kallithea.local/subrepo ## specify URL to existing repo in Kallithea as subrepository path echo "subrepo = http://kallithea.local/subrepo" > .hgsub hg add .hgsub hg ci --message "added remote subrepo" In the file list of a clone of ``mainrepo`` you will see a connected subrepository at the revision it was cloned with. Clicking on the subrepository link sends you to the proper repository in Kallithea. Cloning ``mainrepo`` will also clone the attached subrepository. Next we can edit the subrepository data, and push back to Kallithea. This will update both repositories. .. _waitress: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/waitress .. _gunicorn: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/gunicorn .. _subrepositories: http://mercurial.aragost.com/kick-start/en/subrepositories/
