# 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)
