-------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The HTTP remote is a read only remote for reading files of a
|
|
|
|
webserver. The webserver should provide file listings which rclone
|
|
|
|
will read and turn into a remote. This has been tested with common
|
|
|
|
webservers such as Apache/Nginx/Caddy and will likely work with file
|
|
|
|
listings from most web servers. (If it doesn't then please file an
|
|
|
|
issue, or send a pull request!)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Paths are specified as `remote:` or `remote:path/to/dir`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here is an example of how to make a remote called `remote`. First
|
|
|
|
run:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
rclone config
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This will guide you through an interactive setup process:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
No remotes found - make a new one
|
|
|
|
n) New remote
|
|
|
|
s) Set configuration password
|
|
|
|
q) Quit config
|

This remote is called `remote` and can now be used like this
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
See all the top level directories
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
rclone lsd remote:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
List the contents of a directory
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
rclone ls remote:directory
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sync the remote `directory` to `/home/local/directory`, deleting any excess files.
|
|
|
|

### Read only ###
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This remote is read only - you can't upload files to an HTTP server.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Modified time ###
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Most HTTP servers store time accurate to 1 second.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Checksum ###
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
No checksums are stored.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Usage without a config file ###
|
|
|

|
|
|
Since the http remote only has one config parameter it is easy to use
|
|
|
|
without a config file:

### Advanced Options
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here are the advanced options specific to http (http Connection).
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
#### --http-headers
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Set HTTP headers for all transactions
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Use this to set additional HTTP headers for all transactions
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The input format is comma separated list of key,value pairs. Standard
|
|
|
|
[CSV encoding](https://godoc.org/encoding/csv) may be used.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Config: headers
|
|
|
|
- Env Var: RCLONE_HTTP_HEADERS
|
|
|
|
- Type: CommaSepList
|
|
|
|
- Default:
|
|
|
|
|
2019-04-13 12:01:58 +02:00
|
|
|
#### --http-no-slash
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Set this if the site doesn't end directories with /
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Use this if your target website does not use / on the end of
|
|
|
|
directories.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A / on the end of a path is how rclone normally tells the difference
|
|
|
|
between files and directories. If this flag is set, then rclone will
|
|
|
|
treat all files with Content-Type: text/html as directories and read
|
|
|
|
URLs from them rather than downloading them.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that this may cause rclone to confuse genuine HTML files with
|
|
|
|
directories.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Config: no_slash
|
|
|
|
- Env Var: RCLONE_HTTP_NO_SLASH
|
|
|
|
- Type: bool
|
|
|
|
- Default: false
|
|
|
|
|
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
|
|
|
#### --http-no-head
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Don't use HEAD requests to find file sizes in dir listing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If your site is being very slow to load then you can try this option.
|
|
|
|
Normally rclone does a HEAD request for each potential file in a
|
|
|
|
directory listing to:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- find its size
|
|
|
|
- check it really exists
|
|
|
|
- check to see if it is a directory
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you set this option, rclone will not do the HEAD request. This will mean
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- directory listings are much quicker
|
|
|
|
- rclone won't have the times or sizes of any files
|
|
|
|
- some files that don't exist may be in the listing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Config: no_head
|
|
|
|
- Env Var: RCLONE_HTTP_NO_HEAD
|
|
|
|
- Type: bool
|
|
|
|
- Default: false
|
