| 4 | +# CHUNKED TRANSFER | ||
| 5 | +# It is a known issue that Git-over-HTTP requires chunked transfer encoding [0] which is not | ||
| 6 | +# supported by Nginx < 1.3.9 [1]. As a result, pushing a large object with Git (i.e. a single large file) | ||
| 7 | +# can lead to a 411 error. In theory you can get around this by tweaking this configuration file and | ||
| 8 | +# - installing an old version of Nginx with the chunkin module [2] compiled in; | ||
| 9 | +# - using a newer version of Nginx. | ||
| 10 | +# | ||
| 11 | +# At the time of writing we do not know if either of these theoretical solutions works. As a workaround | ||
| 12 | +# users can use Git over SSH to push large files. | ||
