To be able to upload and download simple files, without local camput/camget, you can start a camproxy on a machine with camput and camget (camput is needed, camget is optional).
I have a legacy AIX 5.3 system, without go - thus camlistore is not running it. But I love Camlistore's deduplication and versatility of backends.
As my primary usage is uploading and downloading single files, and have only some vague idea about handling directories/static-sets (download as tar/zip), this usage is absolutely unhandled yet.
CAMLI_AUTH=userpass:login:passwd camproxy [-server=https://camli.myserver.net] [-listen=:3128]
Thus
CAMLI_AUTH=userpass:login:passwd camproxy -listen=0.0.0.0:3128
will start a proxy listening on 0.0.0.0:3128, putting/getting to/from
the camlistore server on localhost:3147, using the default gnupg secret keyring
($HOME/.config/camlistore/identity-secring.gpg) with the default configuration
($HOME/.config/camlistore/client-config.json).
This means that upload is a simple curl -F upfile=@filenametoupload http://camproxy.host:3148
Which returns the blobref (i.e. "sha1-c4991c8f57d2639f779c53c12392369ed81d426"). If you set permanode=1, than two refs are returned, first is the file ref, second is the permanode's ref: curl -F upfile=@filenametoupload http://camproxy.host:3138?permanode=1 returns sha1-c4276dae3345bd92a4616b7688d800774d6abbeb sha1-c11e44e38201eb830379327824527f559315de79
The permanode is different for each upload, of course; but the file's ref is different, too - this is only because the uploaded file's metadata (mtime, for example) is different for each upload. This can be alleviated by sending the file mtime, too. Just send the mtime= parameter. But this is just cosmetic, as the content of the file is stored only once - see below.
For my use space is scarce, thus if you set the short=1 param, then a
base64-encoded blob ref (34 chars) is returned instead of the official
hex-encoded (45 chars) one.
curl http://camproxy.host:3148/sha1-c4276dae3345bd92a4616b7688d800774d6abbeb
Will return the file's content. curl http://camproxy.host:3148/sha1-c4276dae3345bd92a4616b7688d800774d6abbeb?raw=1 returns the blob (json) as stored in Camlistore.
The short, bas64-encoded (sha1-toJZZKCSCnNBWuJrT3JH-3qIZbU=) is accepted, too.
