Mercurial: "remote: ssl required" even when pushing to HTTPS repository
Add this lines to your central repository where you want to push
[web]
push_ssl=False
allow_push=*
Needless to say, this is rather unsafe, but if you’re on a nice protected LAN at work and there’s a good firewall and you trust everybody on your LAN, this is reasonably OK.
You can resolve this problem by running hg server like this (no push ssl):
hg serve --config web.push_ssl=No --config "web.allow_push=*"
So it turns out the problem was the same as described here. It wasn't anything directly to do with Mercurial, but was oddness on Apache's end.
I had to copy the SSLEngine On
and associated SSLProtocol
, SSLCipherSuite
, SSLCertificateFile
, and SSLCertificateKeyFile
directives from my separate "Enable SSL" Apache configuration file to my Mercurial virtual host file, even though everything else was working quite happily via HTTPS.
