HgWebDir And IIS 6

[T.J. Simmons]

At the moment I have basic authentication disabled, and allow_push set to *. Is it possible that the server is set to return an HTTP 500 whenever PUT (or whatever HG uses) is sent over SSL? If so, I'll see if that's the case. I've skimmed the IIS 7 guides, but I'll dig more into the authentication.. It's entirely possible that's my problem.

Thanks.

I've got hgwebdir.cgi on the same drive as the repository, and I gave the anonymous IIS account full read/write access to the repo's folder. Should it also have some sort of permissions on hgwebdir.cgi?

And given that the operation seems to change the repository, we can probably rule out permission issues there. Reading through the guide to Mercurial on IIS 7, there are notes about authentication requirements. I guess you aren't using authentication, or that it's set up and does at least recognise your credentials, but maybe the server does something odd at the end of the request.
