Internal error due to entering SSH key through browser flow #867
Description
Originally reported on Google Code with ID 571
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. generate public key with Git Bash for windows
2. cut and paste ssh key from Git Bash for windows to gitblit site 'add ssh key' from
browser.
3. select 'add'.
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Should accept but throws an internal error. To resolve, I delete the generated key
on the server under <gitblit install>/data/ssh/<ownername>.keys
NOTE: Once you get into this state (internal error when trying to get to the 'my profile'
page), there is no way to get into the 'my profile' page. It always throws an internal
error.
As a workaround, the user can remove spurious newlines from the cut-n-paste operation.
A colleague had a similar problem on the linux flow with no obvious workaround as
in the above windows flow.
Seems like a more robust scrubbing of the input text would resolve issue like removing
all newlines and reduce whitespace to single whitespace before processing input.
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
gitblit 1.6.2 / windows
Please provide any additional information below.
Gitblit is awesome. Fantastic work!
Thank you!
