Cowboy Rest Hello World
|
||||
=======================
|
||||
|
||||
To compile this example you need rebar in your PATH.
|
||||
|
||||
Type the following command:
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ rebar get-deps compile
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You can then start the Erlang node with the following command:
|
||||
```
|
||||
./start.sh
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then run any given command or point your browser to the indicated URL.
|
||||
|
||||
Examples
|
||||
--------
|
||||
|
||||
To upload something to the paste application, you can use curl like:
|
||||
```
|
||||
<command> | curl -i --data-urlencode paste@- localhost:8080
|
||||
```
|
||||
or to upload my_file:
|
||||
```
|
||||
curl -i --data-urlencode paste@my_file localhost:8080
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The URL of your data will be in the location header. Alternately, you can visit
|
||||
http://localhost:8080 with your favorite web browser and submit your paste via
|
||||
the form.
|
||||
|
||||
Code that has been pasted can be highlighted with ?lang=<language> option if
|
||||
you have [highlight](http://www.andre-simon.de/doku/highlight/en/highlight.html)
|
||||
installed (although pygments or any other should work just fine). For example:
|
||||
```
|
||||
curl -i --data-urlencode paste@priv/index.html localhost:8080
|
||||
curl <url from location header>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Will show the text of the html file. If your terminal supports color
|
||||
sequences and highlight is installed:
|
||||
```
|
||||
curl <url from location header>?lang=html
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Will show a syntax highlighted version of the source file. If you open the
|
||||
same URL in your web browser and your web browser tells cowboy that it prefers
|
||||
html files, you will see the file highlighted with html/css markup. Firefox is
|
||||
known to work.
