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.
