(This allows you to post multiple files at once.) Use Basic-Auth to login. If the login does not exist, it will be created. Don't use an important password, this is not secure. returns: http://ix.io/id for N in request PUT ix.io/ID replace ID. authentication required DELETE ix.io/ID delete ID. authentication required EXAMPLES Anonymous, unnamed paste, two ways: cat file.ext | curl -F 'f:1=<-' ix.io curl -F 'f:1=@file.ext' ix.io Nonymous, using .netrc for auth: curl -n -F 'f:1=@file.ext' ix.io Delete ID, two ways: curl -n -X DELETE ix.io/ID curl -F 'rm=ID' USER:PASS@ix.io Replace ID, two ways: curl -n -X PUT -F 'f:1=@file.ext' ix.io/ID cat file.ext | curl -F 'f:1=<-' -F 'id:1=ID' USER:PASS@ix.io Paste that can be only be read twice: cat file.ext | curl -F 'f:1=<-' -F 'read:1=2' ix.io CLIENT A client is maintained at ix.io/client curl ix.io/client > ix chmod +x ix ./ix -h Or if you wish, paste the following function into $HOME/.bashrc: ix() { local opts local OPTIND [ -f "$HOME/.netrc" ] && opts='-n' while getopts ":hd:i:n:" x; do case $x in h) echo "ix [-d ID] [-i ID] [-n N] [opts]"; return;; d) $echo curl $opts -X DELETE ix.io/$OPTARG; return;; i) opts="$opts -X PUT"; local id="$OPTARG";; n) opts="$opts -F read:1=$OPTARG";; esac done shift $(($OPTIND - 1)) [ -t 0 ] && { local filename="$1" shift [ "$filename" ] && { curl $opts -F f:1=@"$filename" $* ix.io/$id return } echo "^C to cancel, ^D to send." } curl $opts -F f:1='<-' $* ix.io/$id } Then open a new shell and type `ix -h` CAVEATS: Paste at your risk. Be nice please. The codebase for ix.io is intended to be free and open-source. It is not published at the moment because the author doesn't want to publish code that isn't pretty and pleasant (and is also deeply lazy about getting it there). CHANGES 20160129 Upgrade Pygments to 2.1 20150908 Terminal syntax highlighting (with + instead of /) 20141201 PUT and DELETE support 20141130 Migrated backend for better concurrency Respect login:token via netrc/Basic-Auth (overrides request) If file is attached set name/ext from the filename Python client retired. We'll just build the shell snippet a bit more Add delete after N reads functionality 20121205 Lots of changes to the bashrc function, and made a script version available at /client. 20090911 new client released (v0.4): * prompts for filename and filetype in interactive/pipe mode * more intuitive use of -i (-i ID FILE) * allow multiple deletes at the same time (-d ID -d ID2 ...) * allow multiple gets at the same time (-g ID -g ID2 ...) 20090910 Support deleting multiple items in one request 20090801 OK i'm hashing tokens in the db, looks like things still work. 20090711 add id:N parameter, for replacing previous pastes (that you own) python client updated to v0.3 accordingly changed behavior of returned URL for pastes of multiple files at once TODO * allow anonymous, owned pastes. You own them and can delete them, but they don't show up in listings, and don't have sequential IDs.
