How to upload?

It only shows files but don't allow me upload

commented

The index page is served by the underlying http.server, and behaves the same way.

To upload, go to /upload (for example if the server is running at http://localhost:8000/ go to http://localhost:8000/upload ).

Oh, OK! Thanks!

Clarified instructions in readme 177d6d9

Thanks for reporting the issue.

I was confused by this also. Maybe a link to the upload page could be inserted into the directory listing HTML? This would mean overriding list_directory()

commented

That would be handy.

I prefer not to replace and take on maintenance for any more of the built-in functions than I have to, but after a closer look it may be possible to create a .list_directory() that:

  • Calls the original .list_directory()
  • Inserts some new HTML into the file object returned by the original .list_directory() before passing it back
  • Iterates over ._headers_buffer and updates the content-length header.

Would also have the benefit of applying dark theme settings to the directory pages.
