# salted.http.server
Python `http.server` with salt.
Python and its `http.server` module are a great way to occasionally provide a tree structure for downloading.
However, when the command `python3 -m http.server` popularized by many HowTo is used, the tree structure is offered to all winds without restriction !
`salted.http.server` adds a constraint to `http.server` that prevents the display of the offered tree structure if the salt grain is not present :
`curl http://PublicIpAddr:Port/` will work with `http.server` but will not work with `salted.http.server` where the computed salt should be added to the url (eg. `curl http://PublicIpAddr:Port/ComputedSalt/`).
**`salted.http.server` is mainly intended to prevent accidental sharing of data on the network !**
### installation
- make tree directory in your local Python 3.7 library with `mkdir -p ~/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/salted/http/`, `touch ~/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/salted/__init__.py` and `touch ~/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/salted/http/__init__.py`
- [download](server.py) `server.py` in `~/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/salted/http/`
> modify `…/python3.7/…` if you are not running Python 3.7.
### usage
- ask help :
```console
$ python -m salted.http.server --help
usage: server.py [-h] [--directory DIRECTORY] [port]
positional arguments:
port Specify alternate port [default: 8000]
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--directory DIRECTORY, -d DIRECTORY
Specify alternative directory [default:current
directory]
```
- start `salted.http.server` in current directory with default port :
```console
$ python -m salted.http.server
Serving HTTP on http://192.168.1.2:8000/0faa60f9887cd932343adc4300dd4f83/ ... # link to share ;-)
```
- try without salt grain :
```console
$ curl -q http://192.168.1.2:8000/
curl: (52) Empty reply from server
```
- try with salt grain :
```console
$ curl -q http://192.168.1.2:8000/0faa60f9887cd932343adc4300dd4f83/
