previously, the `?zip` url-suffix would create a cp437 zipfile,
and `?zip=utf` would use utf-8, which is now generally expected
now, both `?zip=utf` and `?zip` will produce a utf8 zipfile,
and `?zip=dos` provides the old behavior
url-param / header `ck` specifies hashing algo;
md5 sha1 sha256 sha512 b2 blake2 b2s blake2s
value 'no' or blank disables checksumming,
for when copyparty is running on ancient gear
and you don't really care about file integrity
hooks can now interrupt or redirect actions, and initiate
related actions, by printing json on stdout with commands
mainly to mitigate limitations such as sharex/sharex#3992
xbr/xau can redirect uploads to other destinations with `reloc`
and most hooks can initiate indexing or deletion of additional
files by giving a list of vpaths in json-keys `idx` or `del`
there are limitations;
* xbu/xau effects don't apply to ftp, tftp, smb
* xau will intentionally fail if a reloc destination exists
* xau effects do not apply to up2k
also provides more details for hooks:
* xbu/xau: basic-uploader vpath with filename
* xbr/xar: add client ip
rather than sending each file chunk as a separate HTTP request,
sibling chunks will now be fused together into larger HTTP POSTs
which results in unreasonably huge speed boosts on some routes
( `2.6x` from Norway to US-East, `1.6x` from US-West to Finland )
the `x-up2k-hash` request header now takes a comma-separated list
of chunk hashes, which must all be sibling chunks, resulting in
one large consecutive range of file data as the post body
a new global-option `--u2sz`, default `1,64,96`, sets the target
request size as 64 MiB, allowing the settings ui to specify any
value between 1 and 96 MiB, which is cloudflare's max value
this does not cause any issues for resumable uploads; thanks to the
streaming HTTP POST parser, each chunk will be verified and written
to disk as they arrive, meaning only the untransmitted chunks will
have to be resent in the event of a connection drop -- of course
assuming there are no misconfigured WAFs or caching-proxies
the previous up2k approach of uploading each chunk in a separate HTTP
POST was inefficient in many real-world scenarios, mainly due to TCP
window-scaling behaving erratically in some IXPs / along some routes
a particular link from Norway to Virginia,US is unusably slow for
the first 4 MiB, only reaching optimal speeds after 100 MiB, and
then immediately resets the scale when the request has been sent;
connection reuse does not help in this case
on this route, the basic-uploader was somehow faster than up2k
with 6 parallel uploads; only time i've seen this
counterpart of `--s-wr-sz` which existed already
the default (256 KiB) appears optimal in the most popular scenario
(linux host with storage on local physical disk, usually NVMe)
was previously 32 KiB, so large uploads should now use 17% less CPU
also adds sanchecks for values of `--iobuf`, `--s-rd-sz`, `--s-wr-sz`
also adds file-overwrite feature for multipart posts
some reverse-proxies expect plaintext replies, and
we don't have a brotli decompressor to satisfy this
additionally, because brotli is https-gated (thx google),
it was already an impractical mess anyways
the sfx is now 7 KiB larger
primarily to support uploading from Igloo IRC but also generally useful
(not actually tested with Igloo IRC yet because it's a paid feature
so just gonna wait for spiky to wake up and tell me it didn't work)
* error-message which explains how to run on py2 / older py3
when trying to run from source
* check compatibility between jinja2 and cpython on startup
* verify that webdeps are present on startup
* verify that webdeps are present when building sfx
* make-sfx.sh grabs the strip-hints dependency
mainly motivated by u2cli's folder syncing in turbo mode
which would un-turbo on most dupes due to wrong lastmod
disabled by default for regular http listings
(to avoid confusion in most regular usecases),
enable per-request with urlparam lt
enabled by default for single-level webdav listings
(because rclone hits the same issue as u2cli),
can be disabled with arg --dav-rt or volflag davrt
impossible to enable for recursive webdav listings
