### Auth Rules
An auth rule consists of two components: a pattern and an optional comma-separated list of HTTP methods, separated by a `:`.  
Here are a few examples:
- `*`, `*:GET,POST,PUT` or `/*:GET,POST,PUT` matches all paths for `GET`, `POST` and `PUT`
- `/foo/*:GET` matches paths start with `/foo/` and the path `/foo.tar.zst` for `GET`
- `*bar:POST,PUT` matches paths end with `bar` for `POST` and `PUT`
- `/foo[ab]*:GET` matches paths start with `/fooa` or `/foob`   for `GET`

For full documentation on the pattern syntax, please see [fnmatch](https://docs.python.org/3/library/fnmatch.html).

## Tips
- If you're sharing just one file, you can use the shortcut name `file` to access it：
    ```bash
    http://{host}:{port}/file

# to save with the original filename
    wget --content-disposition http://{host}:{port}/file
    curl -OJ http://{host}:{port}/file
    ```
- To get an archive of a folder, you can add the `.tar.zst` extension to the url:
    ```bash
    http://{host}:{port}/any/folder.tar.zst
    ```
- If you want to upload files to the sharing server with `curl`, you can use:
    ```bash
    # POST
    curl -F file=@/path/to/file http://{host}:{port}
    # create new folders at the same time
    curl -F file=@/path/to/file http://{host}:{port}/custom/path/

# PUT
    curl -T /path/to/file http://{host}:{port}
    # create new folders at the same time
    curl -T /path/to/file http://{host}:{port}/custom/path/
    # with a different filename
    curl -T /path/to/file http://{host}:{port}/custom/path/custom-filename
    ```
- If you want to use HTTP Basic authentication, remember the username is always "user".
