files: fix raw download of repo files with names with unicode points above 256 in name
Raw download had apparently only been tested with non-ascii characters that
were latin1. That was apparently a (too) simple case that worked without
crashing.
Files with unicode code points above 256 in their name would fail to download,
when Waitress failed like this, trying to get a real byte string by encoding
WSGI headers to latin1:
UnicodeEncodeError: 'latin-1' codec can't encode characters in position 84-85: ordinal not in range(256)
HTTP headers are of course byte strings on the network, but Python3 WSGI does
unfortunately neither expose it as bytes nor as unicode strings to be encoded
as utf-8. Instead, it uses unicode strings with byte values encoded as code
points 0-255. That is achieved by decoding the utf-8 encoded bytes as latin1.
For raw downloads, the recommended download filename is provided in the
Content-Disposition header. The problem is that it was provided as a real
unicode string.
Fixed by applying the "proper" latin1-decoding of a utf8-encoding.

=============
Customization
=============
There are several ways to customize Kallithea to your needs depending on what
you want to achieve.
HTML/JavaScript/CSS customization
---------------------------------
To customize the look-and-feel of the web interface (for example to add a
company banner or some JavaScript widget or to tweak the CSS style definitions)
you can enter HTML code (possibly with JavaScript and/or CSS) directly via the
*Admin > Settings > Global > HTML/JavaScript customization
block*.
Style sheet customization with Less
-----------------------------------
Kallithea uses `Bootstrap 3`_ and Less_ for its style definitions. If you want
to make some customizations, we recommend to do so by creating a ``theme.less``
file. When you create a file named ``theme.less`` in directory
``kallithea/front-end/`` inside the Kallithea installation, you can use this
file to override the default style. For example, you can use this to override
``@kallithea-theme-main-color``, ``@kallithea-logo-url`` or other `Bootstrap
variables`_.
After creating the ``theme.less`` file, you need to regenerate the CSS files, by
running::
kallithea-cli front-end-build --no-install-deps
.. _bootstrap 3: https://getbootstrap.com/docs/3.3/
.. _bootstrap variables: https://getbootstrap.com/docs/3.3/customize/#less-variables
.. _less: http://lesscss.org/
Behavioral customization: Kallithea extensions
----------------------------------------------
Some behavioral customization can be done in Python using Kallithea
``extensions``, a custom Python file you can create to extend Kallithea
functionality.
With ``extensions`` it's possible to add additional mappings for Whoosh
indexing and statistics, to add additional code into the push/pull/create/delete
repository hooks (for example to send signals to build bots such as Jenkins) and
even to monkey-patch certain parts of the Kallithea source code (for example
overwrite an entire function, change a global variable, ...).
To generate a skeleton extensions package, run::
kallithea-cli extensions-create -c my.ini
This will create an ``extensions.py`` file next to the specified ``ini`` file.
You can find more details inside this file.
For compatibility with previous releases of Kallithea, a directory named
``rcextensions`` with a file ``__init__.py`` inside of it can also be used. If
both an ``extensions.py`` file and an ``rcextensions`` directory are found, only
``extensions.py`` will be loaded. Note that the name ``rcextensions`` is
deprecated and support for it will be removed in a future release.
Behavioral customization: code changes
--------------------------------------
As Kallithea is open-source software, you can make any changes you like directly
in the source code.
We encourage you to send generic improvements back to the
community so that Kallithea can become better. See :ref:`contributing` for more
details.
