Commands

Human friendly cli tools

Handy cli tools for httpipe. curl doesn't do streaming POSTS well so its recommended you use httpipe when piping data

$ echo "hi" | httpipe jb55/myfile.txt

$ httpipe jb55/myfile.txt
hi

Using CURL works!

POST until someone GETs the resource

$ curl -X POST -d@- http://httpipe.io/myfile.txt < myfile.txt

Receive from anywhere else

The original POST finishes after doing a GET on the resource

$ curl http://httpipe.io/myfile.txt

Run your own httpipe server

$ httpiped

Configuring custom httpipe url

Add this to your environment:

export HTTPIPE_URL=http://myhttpiped.com

httpipe commands will use this endpoint when doing requests:

httpipe myfile.txt will expand to httpipe http://myhttpiped.com/myfile.txt

API

var httpiped = require('httpipe')

// express app
app.listen(8000);
