#+STARTUP: showall Quickly share bits of code, screenshots and whatnot with some friends. Easily delete them too. * Setup Hypo is written in [[http://hylang.org][hy]]. Which is a Lisp and Python thrown together. This doesn't matter much, it should function as a regular python module. ** Requirements Hypo has the following requirements: - [[http://hylang.org][hy]] :: The language. - [[http://webpy.org][web.py]] :: The Python web framework. - [[https://github.com/FriendCode/gittle][gittle]] :: Pythonic Git for Humans - [[https://bitbucket.org/babab/pycommand][pycommand]] :: Command line arguments parser - [[http://pygments.org/][Pygments]] :: Python syntax highlighter Besides these it also requires everything needed to run web.py applications using your favorite webserver. * Usage Once setup it will show most of this file if you browse to the ~/~ of your installation, then you'll have to upload something. ** Uploading Uploading is done with the ~PUT~ HTTP method. An example with curl: : # curl --upload-file README.org http://yourserver.example.com/ 2>/dev/null : http://yourserver.example.com/abcdef1 After uploading a file to the server it will respond with the url of your newly uploaded file. If you browse to this URL using your favorite browser you will find a page showing the file. For text files it will try to provide some syntax highlighting, for certain types of images (currently ~jpg~, ~png~ and ~gif~) it will show the image. If Hypo doens't know what kind of file you're uploading it will default to treating it as a text file. ** Viewing All files can be viewed (from, for example, your web browser) in three different ways. The regularly, raw and as download. The regular way shows a web page with the file either syntax highlighted using ~pygments~ or (in case it is an image) with the image shown on the page. This is viewed by using the URL printed after upload has completed. For example: : http://yourserver.example.com/abcdef1 The raw view is just the file, saving this file is the same as downloading it. This is viewed by prefixing the last part of the URL with ~raw/~. For example: : http://yourserver.example.com/raw/abcdef1 The download view is the same as the raw view except that the ~Content-Disposition~ header has been set to ~attachment~. This causes a download dialog to show up instead of your browser trying to render it. This is viewed by prefixing the last part of the URL with ~dl/~. For example: : http://yourserver.example.com/dl/abcdef1 ** Deleting After you have uploaded a file you can delete it again by using the ~DELETE~ HTTP method. An example with curl: : # curl -XDELETE http://yourserver.example.com/abcdef1 : Successfully removed abcdef1 There is currently no way to authenticate yourself with the server, so anyone can delete (also post) files. Of course they would first have to know the URL to send the delete to. * Clients Hypo tries to stay simple to work with, at least on the client-side. However, some clients may make things easier. Currently there is only the (incomplete) [[http://code.ryuslash.org/hypo-emacs/][Emacs client]] and a simple [[http://code.ryuslash.org/hypo-cli/about/][CLI client]]. * License Hypo is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU Affero General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
