GIT http server

A simple git http server made for demonstration of the WASM-git project.

Even though WASM-git can clone git repositories from any git http server, there are restrictions in browsers when it comes to accessing data from other domains (CORS). This project is set up to provide a git server without this restriction.

For authentication and access control the near-protocol blockchain is used. Smart contract sources can be found in the nearcontract folder, and is for access control to repositories.

From the browser side a token is created and signed using the private keys stored in the browser. The server checks the signature and query the smart contract for access rights to the requested repository.

ERROR 12: bad packet length - when trying to view a song repo

Hi, Peter! I wanted to try and play with this song here https://youtu.be/Hko5ZXxulaY and realized it's stored in your other Git WASM project so I got into learning and researching how all this works and tried to view the song in the music studio but unfortunately, it works neither in the studio and not in the stand alone git app too (this is the url I try to Clone) for me and I'm getting the error in the title. Am I doing something wrong or the files are deleted / moved to a different URL?
