Hi there,
Are you interested in adding etag support? I was thinking of adding an etag attribute to FoundFile, calculating sha1 hash during initialisation, then adding an etag( @file.etag ) to the controller.

Happy to send a pull request if you're interested.

Cheers,
Dan

How about adding capability of Basic Auth?
By default is off, if a config file is present then take credentials and authenticate URIs with Basic Auth?

We should test that the directory passed exists or not - currently crashes when listing files.

Options:
a) error with description of the problem and halt
b) output error to console and continue use the current directory

Ferver provides links to files with their index in URL, i.e. http://localhost:4567/files/0

It would be nice if a link with filename was also available. It is particularly useful if the files are downloaded by the script or in CLI session (need to rename them after downloading)

I'm not sure what is proper elegant way of adding it.

Hi there,
What do you think about incorporating SSL support? Pass a key / certificate in as an argument?

Remove the files.html and files.json routes and negotiate return content type via Accept request header.

Should it? Seems like a good idea, avoid messy downloads of the source files and fits with the goal to be small, lightweight and easy as possible to use. Lets do it.

I've tried to use ferver, but got this:

/var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/ferver-1.2.0/lib/ferver.rb:1: undefined method `require_relative' for main:Object (NoMethodError)

Should the Sinatra app be run in production mode when run from gem executable?

Add redirect when requesting http://localhost:4567/ to /files.

So that we dont have to type it into a browser.

Hi there,
It'd be nice if it would ignore files beginning with a dot. If you're interested, I can branch and submit a pull request, or you could just add :

next if file_name =~ /^./

to lib/ferver/file_list.rb, line 45.

Cheers,
Dan

It would be handy if ferver will show your machine's IP address to quickly copy and paste it and send to another person. Otherwise you need to craft a link by hand.

Close issues #1 #2 #3 #4 and call it version 1.

Just do it.

Allow external configuration of the ferver directory so that no manual hacking of the code is required. Pseudo example below

ruby run_my_ferver -d /path/to/dir

Fall back to DEFAULT if none passed.

When listing files; ignore directories
