Guess what, I just registered a test account, and poked a little bit for fun (Somebody already took the username I wanted so I'm not in the mood to actually use their service). I found that at least their URL routing system is not well-thought.
See, they have a "Self Services" system under the HTTP path "/self_services", and the path to an user profile is formatted like "/username", the path to a repository is formatted like "/username/repositoryname".
- Then, I registered a user named "self_services" (successfully, surprise!), and created a repository: https://gitee.com/self_services/test-repo. Yeah, that just happened.
I guess they are using a big global Routing Table instead of a staged one. Hope can get it they fixed, because it could be a hole in their security.
