I think there is a lot of merit to this argument, however, FastCGI defers to CGI/1.1 for `PATH_INFO`, etc., which is lossy as it must be URL-decoded and therefore cannot represent encoded slashes, `%2F`. (Some implementations also collapse `//` to `/` in path, but this is an issue in various HTTP implementations too.)

It is less expressive than HTTP in ways that may or may not be important to your application; I prefer accurate URL handling.

Show HN: Custom Git-receive-pack implementation

runxiyu — Sat, 07 Mar 2026 20:40:37 +0000

Chuck some SHA-1 repositories at the endpoint:

git push git://lindenii.org/ HEAD:refs/heads/change-this-name

(I wrote a pure-Go git receive pack implementation and wanna test it out with a diverse set of repositories. The code is at https://github.com/runxiyu/furgit)

Using -X POST is often wrong as it "changes the actual method string in the HTTP request [... and] does not change behavior accordingly" (Stenberg, 2015).

Although, it is correct for the article's mention of "Send POST requests"... just that typically people don't send POST requests out of the blue with no data.
