This is a simple file saver application. Files can be uploaded and later retrieved by the application.
There are two endpoints:
/upload-file/- Can be used to upload a file with a specified file name and optional authorization code/browse/<file-name>- Can be used to retrieve the file
First authenticate as a user and get an authentication token
curl -XPOST localhost:5000/auth --header "Content-Type: application/json" --request POST --data '{"username":"monkey1","password":"abcxyz"}'
Response
{"access_token":"eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJleHAiOjE1Njg4MTc4ODksImlhdCI6MTU2ODgxNzU4OSwibmJmIjoxNTY4ODE3NTg5LCJpZGVudGl0eSI6MX0.8F4CJHvlVKR5d3Sov7M03SM4h96nSYQWpe2fFkQv1FY"}
Use that token to upload a file
$ echo '<h1>Hi there!</h1>' > test.html
$ curl -XPOST localhost:5000/upload-file/ -F file=@./test.html -F name=myfile.html -H "Authorization: Token eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJleHAiOjE1Njg4MTc4ODksImlhdCI6MTU2ODgxNzU4OSwibmJmIjoxNTY4ODE3NTg5LCJpZGVudGl0eSI6MX0.8F4CJHvlVKR5d3Sov7M03SM4h96nSYQWpe2fFkQv1FY"
Response:
File saved successfully
Now browse the file
$ curl -v localhost:5000/browse/myfile.html/
Response:
# [... request headers etc ...]

< Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
< Content-Length: 18
# [... other headers ...]
<h1>Hi there!</h1>
