Smart HTTP

[John Norris]

Hi,
I guess this comment is aimed at Scott Chacon.
I have read your blog post on Smart HTTP
(http://git-scm.com/blog/2010/03/04/smart-http.html) and wondered if
there is any documentation that compares in terms of thoroughness with
your sections in the book on using SSH, which does explain the basics so
that "anyone" can get it working.
I have tried setting up authenticated pull and push with HTTP (not
HTTPS) and Apache never asks for authentication during a pull and
refuses a push with a 403 error.
Regards,
John Norris

Looks like a sort-of followup to this discussion [1].

(John, being a good netizen, you should have included the link to that
discussion yourself, to put your uh comment in context and may be
actually get some useful responses.)
