shell2http
HTTP-server to execute shell commands. Designed for development, prototyping or remote control. Settings through two command line arguments, path and shell command. By default bind to :8080.
Usage

options:
-host="host" : host IP for http server (default bind to all interfaces)
-port=NNNN : port for http server, 0 - to receive a random port (default 8080)
-form : parse query into environment vars, handle uploaded files
-cgi : run scripts in CGI-mode:
- set environment variables with HTTP-request information
- write POST|PUT|PATCH-data to script STDIN (if is not set -form)
- parse headers from script (eg: "Location: URL\n\n")
-export-vars=var : export environment vars ("VAR1,VAR2,...")
by default export PATH, HOME, LANG, USER, TMPDIR
-export-all-vars : export all current environment vars

-add-exit : add /exit command
-log=filename : log filename, default - STDOUT
-shell="shell" : shell for execute command, "" - without shell (default "sh")
-cache=N : caching command out for N seconds
-one-thread : run each shell command in one thread
-show-errors : show the standard output even if the command exits with a non-zero exit code
-include-stderr : include stderr to output (default is stdout only)
-cert=cert.pem : SSL certificate path (if specified -cert/-key options - run https server)
-key=key.pem : SSL private key path
-basic-auth="" : setup HTTP Basic Authentication ("user_name:password")
-timeout=N : set timeout for execute shell command (in seconds)
-no-log-timestamp : log output without timestamps
-version
-help
In the -form
mode, variables are available for shell scripts:
- $v_NNN -- data from query parameter with name "NNN" (example:
http://localhost:8080/path?NNN=123
) - $filepath_ID -- uploaded file path, ID - id from
<input type=file name=ID>
, temporary uploaded file will be automatically deleted - $filename_ID -- uploaded file name from browser
The credentials for basic authentication may also be provided via the SH_BASIC_AUTH
environment variable.
