<command> | curl -F 'file=@-' -H 'Expect:' http://localhost:3000

• Very easy to use
• Supports binary files
• Keeps the Content-Type
• Preserves filenames, sent as Content-Disposition
• Optional expiration (self-destruct)

File: Send a POST request to this page with your data in the "file" field name, the entire url uploaded is sent back or a HTTP 302 is replied.

Expiration: One can specify the number of minutes after which the file should be deleted. Specified by the "expire" field. Alternatively you can specify the time unit: s(econds), h(ours), d(ays), w(eeks), m(onths). Example: 120 (2 minutes), 2m (2 months).

Content-Type: It allows the browser or client to infer types of files to correctly display them. cURL cannot infer the type of piped input so you could explicitly give the content type (1st below) or pass it the file directly (2nd below) so it can find the type itself (look at man curl).

Content-Disposition: It allows to suggest a filename to the browser. That means we can store filenames we received and provide them afterward. cURL takes the filename of the path or you can provide it separately (see below).

curl -F 'file=@/path/to/file' -H 'Expect:' http://localhost:3000
<command> | curl -F 'file=@-;type=image/jpeg;filename=myphoto.jpg' -H 'Expect:' http://localhost:3000
<command> | curl -F 'file=@-' -F 'expire=1d' -H 'Expect:' http://localhost:3000

Expect: If you are wondering about this Expect, this is a HTTP header that our server does not support, so we say cURL not to send it and it just works as expected :)
