Instead of acting as a server providing html and css files, could there be
a only-json option?

I could then provide all the static files minified and cached from a proper
http server already in use and request only the data from cgit.

Using jquery:
-----------------------------------------------
$.getJSON('/git/repository/<repo>', function(data) {
    showRepo(data);
});
-----------------------------------------------

By loading https://
<server>/git/<what-I-need>/<parameter-1>/<parameter-2>/<etc.>
CGit would output something like:
-----------------------------------------------
{
"repository": "test",
"property1": "value1",
"property2": "value2"
}
-----------------------------------------------

It's not fun at all to operate multiple http servers all with their own
options.

You can already configure the URL for CGit's CSS and logo files to point
at a separate machine if you want to do that.

I don't think it would be particularly difficult to add a new "json" URL
in cmd.c and handle all of the necessary sub-options, but you would then
need to write an entire UI in JavaScript.

At that point, I'm not sure it would be CGit any more since you would be
using essentially none of the code that exists now.

That's what I'm interested in doing. There just has to be some reverse
proxied application that will handle the requests to git with security in
mind.

Hi, 

I was wondering if anything ever happened with this request? I would love to 
be able to call into cgit for json data.

thanks!
