Can a java authentication example be provided? I'm trying to authenticate hooks received in a servlet.

After a timeout, I managed to roll my own auth implementation for GC's web hook messages. An example and the jar file are available at:

https://webhooks.googlecode.com

In case you're wondering how to catch these web hooks with PHP, I posted my solution here. I just cover catching the POST data, which wasn't readily apparent to me. I haven't covered the authentication yet.

Here's a pretty full script for catching and authenticating these hooks using PHP. I use my own library a little, but it would be easy to extrapolate the key details you'll need.

https://code.google.com/p/joshlib/wiki/CatchingWebHooks

I realized a php script that reads the web-hook "modified", "added", and "removed" fields and syncronizes your "non-working copy" on the webserver (not running svn!). You can find the script at: https://www.aleritty.net/progetti/post-commitphp/

Thanks for coming up with this! I've implemented an endpoint of this for the CIA.vc commit tracker, so people with google code can usefully have their commits reported. Latency looks pretty good so far, I'm getting around 5 seconds, most of which might be due to our side. Two things: It may be useful to allow people to set several addresses, "chaining" hook endpoints or setting up one that bounces on to all targets is clumsy. Also, it seems the current implementation treats only HTTP 200 as success: My original code returned a 202 (Accepted) since that seemed like the appropriate code, but this seems to have caused the hook system to retry a few times. You may want to change that.

For those that use Brightkite and Google code. I wrote a script that posts the commit to Brightkite https://pastebin.com/f7ac7cc00

You can use php to proccess the PostCommitWebHooks

<?php
//google code secret key
$google_code_secret_key = 'RD5234999kc51l';
//get revision commit data
$revision_data=file_get_contents('php://input');
//build secret verify info;
$secret_verify=hash_hmac("md5",$revision_data,$google_code_secret_key);
//get google secret info
$google_secret_info=$_SERVER['HTTP_GOOGLE_CODE_PROJECT_HOSTING_HOOK_HMAC'];
//prase revision commit data
$revision_info=json_decode($revision_data);
//var_export $revision info
$revision_var_export=var_export($revision_info,true);
$fc="\n google code secret key : ". $google_code_secret_key;
$fc.="\n secret verify info : ". $secret_verify;
$fc.="\n google secret info : ". $google_secret_info;
$fc.="\n project name : ". $revision_info->project_name;
$fc.="\n revision count : ". $revision_info->revision_count;
foreach($revision_info->revisions as $revision){
$fc.="\n author:" .$revision->author;
$fc.="\n time: " .date('Y/m/d H:i:s',$revision->timestamp);
$fc.="\n url: ".$revision->url;
$fc.="\n message: ".$revision->message;
$fc.="\n revision: ".$revision->revision;
}
file_put_contents("log.txt",$fc);

For those doing continuous integration with Buildbot, I'm working on a ChangeSource? for Google Code web hooks.

It's a good thing that svnsync doesn't trigger web hooks. I just reset my repository and uploaded it back (with some newline corruption from old revisions fixed), and I certainly wouldn't have wanted that to trigger my buildbot for all 1300 revisions.

Here is a sample php code to send commit notifications via gmail.

You will need to install PEAR for PHP at first:

<?php
require_once "Mail.php";
$data = file_get_contents("php://input"); //raw POST data
$data = json_decode($data, true);
// Commit information
$project_name = $data["project_name"];
foreach($data["revisions"] as $d) {
	$revision = $d["revision"];
	$author = $d["author"];
	$message = $d["message"];
}
$from = '**********';
$to = '*********';
$subject = '['. $project_name .'] r'. $revision .' committed - '. $message;
$body = 'Author: '. $author ."\n";
$body .= 'Comments: '. $message ."\n";
$body .= 'URL: https://code.google.com/p/[project-name]/source/detail?r=' . $revision;
// Stick your GMAIL SMTP info here! ------------------------------
$host = "smtp.gmail.com";
$port = "587";
$username = "**********";
$password = "**********";
// --------------------------------------------------------------
$headers = array ('From' => $from,
  'To' => $to,
  'Subject' => $subject);
$smtp = Mail::factory('smtp',
  array ('host' => $host,
    'port' => $port,
    'auth' => true,
    'username' => $username,
    'password' => $password));
$mail = $smtp->send($to, $headers, $body);
$log = fopen("log.txt","a");
fputs($log, $subject);
fputs($log, "\n");
if (PEAR::isError($mail)) {
  fputs($log, $mail->getMessage());
  fputs($log, "\n");
  fputs($log, "\n");
} 
else {
  fputs($log, "Message successfully sent!");
  fputs($log, "\n");
  fputs($log, "\n");
}
?>
