File listings with -l that contained files with umlauts or other special
chars could break the directory listing. Hopefully one of the last
python2 fixes before I drop support for this.
servefile used to hint to install pyssl when ssl support was missing.
This is utterly wrong, because the package is named pyopenssl - as
stated in setup.py. Installing pyssl will not only not lead to ssl
support, but also install a random package that we do not want.
Also, since python2 has genereally been deprecated (though it is still
support by servefile for now) we hint for the python3 package of
pyopenssl instead of the python2 version. I thought about building a
version detection and print the right package, depending if the user is
using python2 or 3, but I deemed it not being worth it.
Fixes#7 (GitHub)
servefile is now a valid python package. The single servefile.py can
still be used as a script by just putting it into PATH and making it
executable. Additionally when installed via pip a wrapper script is
created, calling the module's main(). python -m servefile works as well.
Using /usr/bin/python might have side-effects, such as the system
python being used even when the script is called from within a
python virtual env. env python should give us the right interpreter.
As we are both python2 and python3 compatible this should cause no
problems.
In python3 filter returns a generator instead of a list. When -4 or
-6 is used or if the host system has either of those address
families disabled len() gets called onto this filter expression
which results into a crash. This commit makes a filter expression
out of this statement and also adds a test for ipv4-only downloading.
When serving a `../` as directory (with `-l`), servefile creates an
endless 301-redirect loop. Having an absolute path fixes this. Since
this error might come up any time again, we're setting `targetDir` to
its absolute path right from the beginning and never have to worry about
it later on.
