# tusd

A dedicated server for resumable file uploads written in Go.

Sounds interesting? Get notified when it's ready: http://tus.io/

## Roadmap

The goal for this code base is to come up with a good and simple solution for
resumable file uploads over http.

* Defining a good http API (in progress)
* Implementing a minimal / robust server for it
* Creating an HTML5 client
* Setting up an online demo
* Integrating Amazon S3 for storage
* Creating an iOS client
* Collect feedback

After this, and based on the feedback, we will continue the development, and
start to offer the software as a hosted service. All code will continue to be
released as open source, there will be no bait and switch.

## HTTP API

Below is the proposed HTTP API for resumable file uploading.

Prior art:

* [Google Drive - Upload Files](https://developers.google.com/drive/manage-uploads)
* [Resumable Media Uploads in the Google Data Protocol](https://developers.google.com/gdata/docs/resumable_upload) (deprecated)
* [ResumableHttpRequestsProposal from Gears](http://code.google.com/p/gears/wiki/ResumableHttpRequestsProposal) (deprecated)

### POST /files

Used to create a resumable file upload. You may send parts or all of your file
along with this request, but this is discouraged as you will not be able to
resume the request if something goes wrong.

**Request Example:**

```
POST /files HTTP/1.1
Host: tus.example.com
Content-Length: 0
Content-Range: bytes */100
Content-Type: image/jpg
```
```
<empty body>
```

**Response Example:**

```
HTTP/1.1 201 Created
Location: http://tus.example.com/files/123d3ebc995732b2
Content-Length: 0
```

The `Location` header returns the `<fileUrl>` to use for interacting with the
file upload.

### PUT \<fileUrl\>

**Request Example:**
```
PUT /files/123d3ebc995732b2 HTTP/1.1
Host: tus.example.com
Content-Length: 100
Content-Range: bytes 0-99/100
```
```
<bytes 0-99>
```

**Response Example:**
```
HTTP/1.1 200 Ok
```

### HEAD \<fileUrl\>

### GET \<fileUrl\>

Used to download an uploaded file.

**Request:**

```
GET /files/123d3ebc995732b2 HTTP/1.1
Host: tus.example.com
```

**Response:**

```
HTTP/1.1 200 Ok
Content-Length: 100
Content-Type: image/jpg
```
```
[file data]
```
