A simple, fast HTTP file service.

Shelf provides a simple HTTP interface for reading, writing, and deleting files. It's like a simpler S3. All operations fall under these three HTTP verbs:

• PUT: write a file: curl -X PUT -T /path/to/local/file http://shelfhost/path/to/remote/file
• GET: read a file: curl http://shelfhost/path/to/remote/file
• DELETE: delete a file: curl -X DELETE http://shelfhost/path/to/remote/file

There are no directory indexes. Parent directories are automatically created. Right now, the files are stored on the filesystem (wherever you point it), but it's intended to provide a simple, pre-authenticated gateway to S3 and maybe other file storage systems in the near future.

Usage: shelf -p <port> -s <storage-path>

  -p="8888": Port to listen on
  -s="/var/lib/shelf": Path to store files
