Unable to https push (or push at all by http)

[Tim Boudreau]

Hi,

I followed the instructions here
http://slucas.wikidot.com/en:hgweb-mod-python to get Mercurial 1.2.1 set up
with hgwebdir and being served by apache, on Gentoo 2.6.30.  Web access and
http or https clone works fine.  Pushing, however, is not working at all. 
I'm hoping it's some simple configuration issue that will be obvious to
someone here.

It works fine for pulling;  however, I've been tearing my hair out trying to
get http and (more ideally) https push working.  It seems to be failing with
a 401 error in httprepo.py, line 81.

Things I've tried:
 - Disable htaccess and all authentication from hgweb.conf so the repository
is wide open and http or https pushes from anyone should work.
 - Tried pushing using both http and https with and without, both with and
without authentication and require ssl on
 - Tried giving the main repository config and data directories
(/home/www/hg_config and /home/www/hg_root) world read-write access

None of this has worked.  I cannot push over http/https.  Here are the
gritty details - hopefully somebody here has been through this before:

The hg repository lives under the home/www/ user directory (which owns a few
java server processes that are proxied through apache [which runs as a
service as user "apache"]) - this gives me one place to back up all
server-related data.  

The hgweb.conf file I'm using currently looks like this (as I mentioned, for
testing, I've cleared out pretty much all push restrictions):
[collections]
/ = /projects

#[paths]
#main/ = /home/www/hg_root/content/main
#stuff/ = /home/www/hg_root/content/stuff

[web]
style = gitweb
description = A place for my random creations
baseurl = /hg
push_ssl = true
contact = Tim Boudreau <tboudreau at sun.com>
allow_archive = bz2 gz zip war jar ear
allow_push = *

(/projects is a symlink to /home/www/hg_root/content - I'm just using it to
shorten the URLs, so you don't pull and push from
http://timboudreau.org/home/www/hg_root/content/*)


My current include file for httpd.conf that enables hg looks like
LocationMatch /hg/.*?>
	AuthType Digest	
	AuthDigestProvider file
        AuthUserFile /home/www/hg_config/.htaccess
        AuthName "Tim's Mercurial Repository"
        <LimitExcept GET OPTIONS>
        	Require valid-user
	</LimitExcept>
	PythonPath "sys.path + ['/home/www/hg_config/']"
        PythonDebug On
        SetHandler mod_python
        PythonHandler modpython_gateway::handler
        PythonOption SCRIPT_NAME /hg
        PythonOption wsgi.application hgwebdir::test
	Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks Includes
        Order deny,allow
        Allow from all
</LocationMatch>


Here's a sample session from a remote machine w/ --debug and --traceback

As a workaround, I have ssl push working, but this is not going to be
practical once I'm not the only committer on this machine.

Any help appreciated.
