File! Post! MONSTER!

Uses an http post request to send a file to a url.

Install

gem install file_post_monster --source http://gemcutter.org

Buy the ticket, take the ride

Well, this whole project has been hacked together pretty quickly, so at the mo it wont give you any feed back on success, and will just dump the default stack trace to the console on failure. Ill be working on this more in the coming weeks, so do stick around.

Usage

Use the post_file command from a shell…

$ post_file -f my_nice_file.txt -a http://monster/give_me_file

This will send the file ‘my_nice_file.text’ using an http POST to monster/give_me_file using the request parameter file.

Ohhh, here are some options…

-f, --file=PATH                  File to post (e.g. myfile.txt)
-a, --address=ADDRESS            Address to post to (e.g. http://myfileservice.com/recieve)
-p, --param=PARAM_NAME           Name of the parameter used for the file in the post request (e.g. file_param), DEFAULT => file
-l, --local_param=PARAM_NAME     Name of a parameter used to post the exact local path with (e.g. local_file_path)
-n, --nesting=PARAM_NEST         Parameter name you would like other parameters to be nested in
-h, --help                       Show this help message.

Thats it really!

Love Rob.
