Web hooks

Project web hooks allow you to trigger an URL if new code is pushed or a new issue is created.

You can configure web hooks to listen for specific events like pushes, issues or merge requests. GitLab will send a POST request with data to the web hook URL.

Web hooks can be used to update an external issue tracker, trigger CI builds, update a backup mirror, or even deploy to your production server.

SSL Verification

By default, the SSL certificate of the webhook endpoint is verified based on an internal list of Certificate Authorities, which means the certificate cannot be self-signed.

You can turn this off in the web hook settings in your GitLab projects.

SSL Verification

Example webhook receiver

If you want to see GitLab's webhooks in action for testing purposes you can use a simple echo script running in a console session.

Save the following file as print_http_body.rb.

require 'webrick'

server = WEBrick::HTTPServer.new(:Port => ARGV.first)
server.mount_proc '/' do |req, res|
  puts req.body
end

trap 'INT' do
  server.shutdown
end
server.start

Pick an unused port (e.g. 8000) and start the script: ruby print_http_body.rb 8000. Then add your server as a webhook receiver in GitLab as http://my.host:8000/.

When you press 'Test Hook' in GitLab, you should see something like this in the console.
