Quickly share bits of code, screenshots or whatnot with some friends. Easily delete them too.
Setup
Hypo is written in 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:
- hy
- The language.
- web.py
- The Python web framework.
- Postgresql
- The database.
- psycopg2
- The database connector.
Besides these it also requires everything needed to run web.py applications using your favorite webserver.
Usage
Once setup it will not show much of anything, first 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.
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 None
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.
