hgwebdir.cgi on Windows

[Jason Stewart]

I still haven't resolved this but I'm wondering, is anyone using this 
combination? I.e. Windows XP, the precompiled TortoiseHg version of 
Mercurial, and LightTpd? Should I try to build Mercurial from source?

Maybe I need to ask a different question. Is this the best way for me to 
securely share my repo with someone else? I'm doing some contract 
programming for a company and I just want them to be able to easily get 
any updates that I make. I don't think at this time that they need to 
push. Hg serve would probably be sufficient if it was authenticated and 
encrypted. I could use ssh (I'm already running an ssh server) but then 
the customer has to get setup to use plink and I lose the nice web 
interface. I could setup a separate Linux box and run it from there but 
it seems a waste to serve one repository.

Any other suggestions, either for fixing my problem or another approach 
I can take?

Thanks,

Jason Stewart
