Pushing over ``bzr+http://``
 
203
----------------------------
 
204
 
 
205
It is possible to allow pushing data over the http smart server. The
 
206
easiest way to do this, is to just supply ``readonly=False`` to the
 
207
``wsgi.make_app()`` call. But be careful, because the smart protocol does
 
208
not contain any Authentication. So if you enable write support, you will
 
209
want to restrict access to ``.bzr/smart`` URLs to restrict who can
 
210
actually write data on your system.  At this time, it is not possible to
 
211
allow some people to have read-only access and others to have read-write
 
212
access to the same urls. Because at the HTTP layer (which is doing the
 
213
Authenticating), everything is just a POST request.  However, with a
 
214
simple symlink, you could configure 2 URLs where one has restricted write
 
215
access, and the other has read-only access.
