= REST pastebin example
|
|
|
|
To try this example, you need GNU `make` and `git` in your PATH.
|
|
|
|
To build and run the example, use the following command:
|
|
|
|
[source,bash]
|
|
$ make run
|
|
|
|
Then point your browser to http://localhost:8080
|
|
|
|
== Usage
|
|
|
|
To upload something to the paste application, you can use `curl`:
|
|
|
|
[source,bash]
|
|
$ <command> | curl -i --data-urlencode paste@- localhost:8080
|
|
|
|
Or, to upload the file `my_file`:
|
|
|
|
[source,bash]
|
|
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 http://www.andre-simon.de/doku/highlight/en/highlight.html[highlight]
|
|
installed (although `pygments` or any other should work just fine).
|
|
|
|
This will show the contents of the HTML file:
|
|
|
|
[source,bash]
|
|
curl -i --data-urlencode paste@priv/index.html localhost:8080
|
|
curl <url from location header>
|
|
|
|
If your terminal supports color sequences and `highlight` is installed,
|
|
the following command will show the same contents but with HTML syntax
|
|
highlighting.
|
|
|
|
[source,bash]
|
|
curl <url from location header>?lang=html
|
|
|
|
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 special HTML markup and CSS. Firefox is known to work.
