### Bug reports
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
First, please [search this repository](https://github.com/mholt/caddy/search?q=&type=Issues&utf8=%E2%9C%93)
|
|
|
|
|
with a variety of keywords to ensure your bug is not already reported.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If not, [open an issue](https://github.com/mholt/caddy/issues) and answer the
|
|
|
|
|
questions so we can understand and reproduce the problematic behavior.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The burden is on you to convince us that it is actually a bug in Caddy. This is
|
|
|
|
|
easiest to do when you write clear, concise instructions so we can reproduce
|
|
|
|
|
the behavior (even if it seems obvious). The more detailed and specific you are,
|
|
|
|
|
the faster we will be able to help you. Check out
|
|
|
|
|
[How to Report Bugs Effectively](http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Please be kind. :smile: Remember that Caddy comes at no cost to you, and you're
|
|
|
|
|
getting free help. If we helped you, please consider

### Minor improvements and new tests
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Submit [pull requests](https://github.com/mholt/caddy/pulls) at any time. Make
|
|
|
|
|
sure to write tests to assert your change is working properly and is thoroughly
|
|
|
|
|
covered.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Proposals, suggestions, ideas, new features
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
First, please [search](https://github.com/mholt/caddy/search?q=&type=Issues&utf8=%E2%9C%93)
|
|
|
|
|
with a variety of keywords to ensure your suggestion/proposal is new.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If so, you may open either an issue or a pull request for discussion and
|
|
|
|
|
feedback.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The advantage of issues is that you don't have to spend time actually
|
|
|
|
|
implementing your idea, but you should still describe it thoroughly. The
|
|
|
|
|
advantage of a pull request is that we can immediately see the impact the change
|
|
|
|
|
will have on the project, what the code will look like, and how to improve it.
|
|
|
|
|
The disadvantage of pull requests is that they are unlikely to get accepted
|
|
|
|
|
without significant changes, or it may be rejected entirely. Don't worry, that
|
|
|
|
|
won't happen without an open discussion first.

|
|
|
If you are going to spend significant time implementing code for a pull request,
|
|
|
|
|
best to open an issue first and "claim" it and get feedback before you invest
|
|
|
|
|
a lot of time.

|
|
If you've found a vulnerability that is serious, please email me: Matthew dot
|
|
|
|
|
Holt at Gmail. If it's not a big deal, a pull request will probably be faster.

Thanks for your help! Caddy would not be what it is today without your
