- Let's start with a simple webserver
- As a cool and interesting learning opportunity, let's try to utilize HTTP/2
- Although I'm not sure how much there's to learn when actix handles upgrades to HTTP/2 transparently
- Maybe we should try to invest in doing this in just hyper 🤔
- For files, we probably don't need a database
- But it might be a good idea to use sqlite for accounts and/or file tracking
- Files will be stored on disk
- Group the files in directories based on their storage options
- So, have directories for files that should be deleted after an hour, day, 1 or 10 downloads
For my personal needs, I don't think I need a full database and can manage my data set just fine by straight-up loading it into a HashMap.
Data will be uploaded using the multipart/form-data encoding.
Upload parameters will be specified in headers. To avoid conflicts, all of these headers have to
have an aqa- prefix.
aqa-visibility: [public|private]aqa-download-count: [infinite|1|5|10|100]aqa-password: [none|some(password)]aqa-lifetime: [infinite|1 min|5 mins|1 hour|1 day|7 days|30 days]
For download count and lifetime, infinite values should only be available for registered users.
I don't want people to be able to register an account on my website without me knowing them. So, registration will work in an invitation-based system.
