<h1>ViewVC 1.1 URL Reference</h1>
<div class="h2">
<h2 id="introduction">Introduction</h2>
<p>This document describes the format of URLs accepted by ViewVC 1.1
and is intended to be useful to users and outside software
developers who want to create links to ViewVC pages. It should also
be useful to ViewVC developers as a way of tracking and documenting
the many quirks of ViewVC's URL handling logic.</p>
<p>Future releases of ViewVC will support the URL formats described in
this document. Certain URLs currently accepted by ViewVC, such as
redirecting URLs that result from the submission of form elements
on ViewVC pages, are not documented here and therefore may not be
supported by future releases of ViewVC.</p>

<p>A ViewVC URL consists of 3 components: a <a
href="#script-component">Script Location</a>, a <a
href="#path-component">Repository Path</a>, and some optional <a
href="#query-component">Query Parameters</a>. Some examples:</p>

<h3 id="script-component">ViewVC Script Location</h3>
<p>The script location is a common base for all ViewVC URL's
pertaining to a particular installation. It's whatever location the
web server is configured to serve ViewVC pages from.</p>
<h3 id="path-component">Repository Path</h3>
<p>Since ViewVC is essentially a file system browser for repositories,
repository paths referring to the files and directories being
browsed get their own section in ViewVC URLs immediately following
the script location. Repository paths are always case sensitive and
separated by forward slashes, regardless of the underlying
filesystem.</p>
<p>Repository paths can be given certain "magic" prefixes and
suffixes. For example, a "/*checkout*" prefix can be added to file
views to force a checkout even without an explicit "view=co" query
parameter. And a ".tar.gz" suffix is added to download tarball URLs
so downloaded tarballs will be saved with sensible default
names.</p>
<p>If the <code>root_as_url_component</code> configuration option is
enabled, the first directory name in a repository path (after any
magic prefix) is taken to be the name (from the ViewVC
configuration) of the repository to browse rather than the name of
an actual directory. The repository name can also be specified in a
"root=" query parameter instead (see <a
href="#root-param"><code>root</code> parameter</a> below).</p>
<p>Paths beginning with "/*docroot*/" are an exception the rules
above. These paths are used to provide access to files in the
ViewVC template directory: image files, static HTML pages, and the
ViewVC stylesheet. For more information, see the <a
href="#docroot-view">Docroot View</a> syntax below.</p>
<h3 id="query-component">Query Parameters</h3>
<p>Following the ViewVC and repository locations in URLs is an
optional query string, a list of parameter/value pairs written like
"?param1=value1&param2=value2..." Some parameters, like
"revision", "pathrev", and "root", augment repository path
information, specifying revisions and repositories. Other
parameters like "logsort" and "diff_format" control ViewVC display
options. Some parameters are also "sticky" and get embedded into
links inside the generated pages, sticking around for future page
views.</p>
<p>ViewVC provides a number of different views of repository data
including a directory listing view, a log view, a file diff view,
and others. (The views are listed and described in the
<code>help_rootview.html</code> ViewVC help page). URLs for each of
these views accept specific parameters described in the <a
href="#syntax">URL Syntax</a> section, but some parameters are used
by multiple views and they are described below:</p>
<table>

<th>Description</th>
</tr>

<tbody>
<tr>
<td id="view-param"><code>view</code></td>
<td>The name of the view to display, does not need to be
explicitly specified in many URLs. Possible values are shown
in the <a href="#url-syntax">URL Syntax</a> section
below.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td id="revision-param"><code>revision</code></td>
<td>The revision or tag to display information about, used by
several different views.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td id="pathrev-param"><code>pathrev</code></td>
<td>The current sticky revision (Subversion) or sticky tag (CVS),
as described in the <code>help_rootview.html</code> ViewVC
help page. In Subversion, because path information is revision
controlled, this value is also used to look up paths in the
repository, providing a means of accessing paths that no
longer exist in HEAD.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td id="root-param"><code>root</code></td>
<td>The name of the repository to browse. When the
<code>default_root</code> configuration option is set or the
<code>root_as_url_component</code> option is enabled, it is
not neccessary to to specify this parameter. When the
<code>root_as_url_component</code> option is enabled, ViewVC
URLs with <code>root</code> parameters redirect to locations
with the root values embedded in the repository paths.</td>

<h2 id="compat">Backwards Compatibility</h2>
<p>ViewVC's URL format has changed a lot over time, but ViewVC goes
out of its way to support URLs using older formats so there aren't
broken links when an installation of ViewVC is upgraded. The
support is implemented as a set of URL transformations that
recognize elements of old-style URLs and convert them to newer
equivalents. If any transformations are applied (with some
exceptions, mentioned below), ViewVC will issue a single redirect
to the transformed URL. Descriptions of the transformations
follow.</p>
<h3 id="compat-viewrev">'<code>view=rev</code>' Parameter ⇒ '<code>view=revision</code>'</h3>
<p>URLs with a <code>view=rev</code> parameter will automatically be
redirected to URLs with a <code>view=revision</code> parameter
instead.</p>
<h3 id="compat-cvsroot">'<code>cvsroot</code>' Parameter ⇒ '<code>root</code>'</h3>
<p>URLs with a <code>cvsroot</code> parameter will automatically be
redirected to URLs with a <code>root</code> parameter instead.</p>
<h3 id="compat-only_with_tag">'<code>only_with_tag</code>' Parameter ⇒ '<code>pathrev</code>'</h3>
<p>URLs with an <code>only_with_tag</code> parameter will
automatically be redirected to URLs with a <code>pathrev</code>
parameter instead.</p>
<h3 id="compat-oldcheckout">'<code>~checkout~</code>' Magic Path Prefix ⇒ '<code>*checkout*</code>'</h3>
<p>URLs with a <code>~checkout~</code> path prefix get interpreted
just like URLs with a '*checkout*' prefix. There is currently no
redirect, but there could be in the future.</p>
<h3 id="compat-checkout">'<code>*checkout*</code>' Magic Path Prefix ⇒ '<code>view=co</code>'</h3>
<p>When the <code>checkout_magic</code> configuration option is
disabled, URLs with a <code>*checkout*</code> magic prefix will
redirect to an equivalent URL that does not use the prefix.</p>
<h3 id="compat-root">'<code>root</code>' Parameter ⇒ Root Path Component</h3>
<p>When the <code>root_as_url_component</code> configuration option is
enabled, URLs with a <code>root</code> parameter will redirect to
an equivalent URL with the root name embedded in the path.</p>
<h3 id="compat-rev">'<code>rev</code>' Parameter ⇒ '<code>revision</code>' and '<code>pathrev</code>'</h3>
<p>CVS URLs with a <code>rev</code> parameter will redirect to URLs
with a <code>revision</code> parameter instead. Subversion URLs
with a <code>rev</code> parameter will redirect to URLs with a
<code>pathrev</code> parameter, in order to account for the how the
Subversion backend used to look up paths before
<code>pathrev</code> was introduced.</p>
<h3 id="compat-diff">'<code>.diff</code>' Suffix ⇒ Diff View</h3>
<p>When ViewVC encounters a invalid repository path that ends in
<code>.diff</code>, and stripping that ending yields a valid file
path, it will redirect to a diff view of the file.</p>
<h3 id="compat-tgz">'<code>.tar.gz</code>' Suffix ⇒ '<code>view=tar</code>'</h3>
<p>When ViewVC encounters a invalid repository path that ends in
<code>.tar.gz</code>, <code>/root.tar.gz</code>, or
<code>/REPOS-root.tar.gz</code>, and stripping the ending yields a
valid directory path, it will redirect to a URL to download a
tarball of the directory.</p>
<h3 id="compat-tarball">'<code>tarball=1</code>' Parameter ⇒ '<code>view=tar</code>'</h3>
<p>A <code>tarball=1</code> parameter is treated pretty much like a
<code>view=tar</code> parameter. There is no redirect when it is
encountered, but there could be in the future.</p>
<h3 id="compat-graph">'<code>graph=1</code>' Parameter ⇒ '<code>view=graph</code>'</h3>
<p>A <code>graph=1</code> parameter is treated like a
<code>view=graph</code> parameter. There is currently no redirect
when it is encountered, but there could be one in the future.</p>
<h3 id="compat-makeimage">'<code>graph=1&makeimage=1</code>' Parameters ⇒ '<code>view=graphimg</code>'</h3>
<p>A <code>graph=1&makeimage=1</code> parameter is treated like a
<code>view=graph</code> parameter. There is currently no redirect
when it is encountered, but there could be one in the future.</p>
<h3 id="compat-content_type">'<code>content_type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup</code>' and '<code>content_type=text/x-cvsweb-markup</code>' Parameters⇒ '<code>view=markup</code>'</h3>
<p><code>content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup</code> and
<code>content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup</code> parameters are
treated like a <code>view=markup</code> parameter. There is
currently no redirect when it is encountered, but there could be
one in the future. Other values of the <code>content-type</code>
parameter, which were used to dictate the MIME type of files
displayed in the checkout/download view prior to ViewVC 1.0.6, are
ignored.</p>
<h3 id="compat-attic">'<code>Attic/FILE</code>' Paths ⇒ '<code>FILE</code>'</h3>
<p>When ViewVC encounters an invalid repository path whose last or
second-to-last component is named <code>Attic</code>, and stripping
the component yields a valid path, it will redirect to a URL with
that path.</p>
