 460 <div class="sectionbody">
 461 <div class="paragraph">
 462 <p>Git supports two HTTP based transfer protocols.  A "dumb" protocol
 463 which requires only a standard HTTP server on the server end of the
 464 connection, and a "smart" protocol which requires a Git aware CGI
 465 (or server module).  This document describes both protocols.</p>
 466 </div>
 467 <div class="paragraph">
 468 <p>As a design feature smart clients can automatically upgrade "dumb"
 469 protocol URLs to smart URLs.  This permits all users to have the
 470 same published URL, and the peers automatically select the most
 471 efficient transport available to them.</p>

 476 <h2 id="_url_format">URL Format</h2>
 477 <div class="sectionbody">
 478 <div class="paragraph">
 479 <p>URLs for Git repositories accessed by HTTP use the standard HTTP
 480 URL syntax documented by RFC 1738, so they are of the form:</p>

 486 </div>
 487 <div class="paragraph">
 488 <p>Within this documentation the placeholder <code>$GIT_URL</code> will stand for
 489 the http:// repository URL entered by the end-user.</p>
 490 </div>
 491 <div class="paragraph">
 492 <p>Servers SHOULD handle all requests to locations matching <code>$GIT_URL</code>, as
 493 both the "smart" and "dumb" HTTP protocols used by Git operate
 494 by appending additional path components onto the end of the user
 495 supplied <code>$GIT_URL</code> string.</p>
