restpaste

A trivial app to sorta-RESTfully CRUD a shared key:value space with an ephemeral backing store.

No authentication, no real backing store, no bullshit. No guarentee of any kind, your data can and will expire rather rapidly, so use at your own bloody risk.

Quick and dirty usage

$ echo 'Hello, world!' | curl -X PUT --data-binary @- restpaste.aknin.name/mykey
Hello, world!
$ curl restpaste.aknin.name/mykey
Hello, world!
$ 

Quick and beautiful usage

$ pip install httpie
...
$ echo 'Hello, world!' | http PUT restpaste.aknin.name/mykey
Hello, world!
$ http get restpaste.aknin.name/mykey
Hello, world!
$ 

What methods are supported?

• POST any path to create a new UUID4 subpath (watch the response Location header for the new URL)
• GET any path to read the value stored there (or HTTP 404)
• PUT any path to update an existing value (or create one if it didn't exist; watch the resulting status code)
• DELETE any path to delete the value stored there

Who wrote it? Can I get the sources?

Why, @aknin did, and yeah, sure you can.
