The minigroup routes are also not installed. However, this functionality is still enabled for testing, so that tests can be run against the routes. |

README.md
The minigroup_digestif Django app provides a simple HTTP POST
endpoint that allows external jobs to delegate the mailing of an
HTML Minigroup digest to anyone who has opted-in.
To use it, first set MINIGROUP_DIGESTIF_USERPASS to a string of the form
username:password. The password doesn't have to be memorable, since
an automated job will be using it, so make it as unguessable as possible.
Manual Testing
First, you'll want to create a user with a valid email address that subscribes to the Minigroup digest. Then, run:
curl -u username:password -d 'html=<em>testing</em>' \
http://localhost:8000/minigroup_digestif/send -i
You should hopefully get a response that looks something like this:
HTTP/1.0 200 OK
Date: Tue, 06 May 2014 13:40:02 GMT
Digest sent.
Check your email inbox; it should have received a new email.
Integration With Node-based minigroup_digestif
Assuming your site is set up at example.org over HTTPS, set the
POST_URL on your minigroup_digestif job to:
https://username:password@example.org/minigroup_digestif/send
Then run node send-digest.js.
