Pulling conctere revision of file form Kiln via URL?

Question

I am trying to set up source server for debugging projects that are stored on Kiln/Mercurial repository.

I need to get revision of the file by following data:

Can I do this via URL? Or there is another workaround for the issue?

P.S. I'd prefer to avoid using Kiln API if possible.

Kiln has its own StackExchange site. This should be asked there: http://kiln.stackexchange.com/ — Tim Henigan, Sep 02 '11 at 15:39

If you aren't opposed to parsing the HTML, you can find the string with the changeset hash by visiting the following URL:

http://<Kiln URL>/File/<path from hg root>/<filename>/rev=<rev #>

In the resulting HTML, you can search for:

<a class="changeset" href="long path" rev="rev you want">

Hi Tim. Thanks for reply. But the proposed approach is not sufficient because of two reasons: it requires user to be authenticated via forms authentication; it returns html representation of file instead of the original one. – klashar Sep 05 '11 at 11:55

I was able to accomplish this solution using Kiln API.

There is awesome .Net library that wraps all call to Kiln API called Kiln.Net
