Protect upload with password

[Yamakaky]

Do you plan to add a way to restrict the uploads, for example with a password? I have a shared server with friends and I don't want the entire internet to be able to upload files to it.

It's pretty easy to do to add basic HTTP auth if you use a reverse-proxy in front of gpldr. What do you have in mind ? Add a password to upload the files but no password for viewing the files ?

[Yamakaky]

Yeah, that's it. The client will be broken if I do that, though ?

[Depado]

Yup. If you add a base HTTP Auth on your reverse proxy that would indeed break the client. But the web UI would still work fine I guess.

So what you'd like is something like that :

• Protect the upload endpoint using a configurable password (in the conf.yml file for example)
• Modify the client to handle this kind of authentication (in the yaml config file)

[Yamakaky]

Yeah, that's the idea. Nothing fancy, just to prevent random people from filling our disk.

I'll have a look when I have some time. I'm not very active on GH lately.
