A lightweight short-term HTTP data store
This started as a project to implement a server to communicate between the Minecraft mod CC: Tweaked — which is only capable of limited HTTP communication for security reasons — and a web browser. I ended up adding configuration options in case someone else might find use out of it.
The server acts as a "bulletin board" where one client can PUT up a posting,
and another client can then GET the same data. Data is only persisted in
memory.
The server is configured with a TOML file whose path is provided with the
--config argument. See doc directory for an example config and systemd unit.
bind_address- Sets the address and port to which the server is bound, e.g."127.0.0.1:3000"password- Sets theAuthorization: Bearertoken that clients must use
The RUST_LOG environment variable can be used as described in env_logger's
documentation, for instance error to log errors, info to log info and
trace to log everything.
All requests require the Authorization: Bearer <password> header to be present
and correct.
Creates/updates a post at id.
Gets the post at id. Returns a 404 if the post does not exist.
