    hgweb: teach archive how to download a specific directory or file · bb38f4f7
    Angel Ezquerra authored
    The archive web command now takes into account the "file" request entry, if one
    is provided.
    
    The provided "file" is processed as a "path" corresponding to a directory or
    file that will be downloaded.
    
    With this change hgweb can to process requests such as:
    
        http://mercurial.selenic.com/hg/archive/tip.zip/mercurial/templates
    
    This will download all files on the mercurial/templates directory as a zip file.
    It is not possible to specify file patterns ('glob', 'relglob', 'path',
    'relpath', 're', 'relre' nor 'set'). The server will reject those with a
    403 HTTP error response.
    
    Note that this is a first step to add support for downloading directories from
    the web interface. A following patch will modify the archiveentry map entry on
    the different templates so that it adds the current folder path to the archive
    links.
