= REST pastebin example To try this example, you need GNU `make` and `git` in your PATH. To build and run the example, use the following command: [source,bash] $ make run Then point your browser to http://localhost:8080 == Usage To upload something to the paste application, you can use `curl`: [source,bash] $ | curl -i --data-urlencode paste@- localhost:8080 Or, to upload the file `my_file`: [source,bash] curl -i --data-urlencode paste@my_file localhost:8080 The URL of your data will be in the location header. Alternately, you can visit http://localhost:8080 with your favorite web browser and submit your paste via the form. Code that has been pasted can be highlighted with ?lang= option if you have http://www.andre-simon.de/doku/highlight/en/highlight.html[highlight] installed (although `pygments` or any other should work just fine). This will show the contents of the HTML file: [source,bash] curl -i --data-urlencode paste@priv/index.html localhost:8080 curl If your terminal supports color sequences and `highlight` is installed, the following command will show the same contents but with HTML syntax highlighting. [source,bash] curl ?lang=html If you open the same URL in your web browser and your web browser tells Cowboy that it prefers HTML files, you will see the file highlighted with special HTML markup and CSS. Firefox is known to work.
