Haste Client

haste-client is a simple client for uploading data to haste-server. All you do it pipe data in STDIN:

cat file | haste

And once the output makes it to the server, it will print the URL to STDOUT.

This can be really really cool in combination with pbcopy, like:

• mac osx: cat file | haste | pbcopy
• linux: cat file | haste | xsel

after which the contents of file will be accessible at a URL which has been copied to your pasteboard.

Support

Please consider paying what you think haste-client is worth:

Making uploading file contents easier

If you supply a valid file path as argument #1 to the client, it will be uploaded:

# equivelant
cat file | haste
haste file

Changing the location of your haste server

By default, haste will point at http://hastebin.com. You can change this by setting the value of ENV['HASTE_SERVER'] to the URL of your haste server. You can also use alias to make easy shortcuts if you commonly use a few hastes intermingled with each other. To do that, you'd put something like this into ~.bash_profile:

alias work_haste="HASTE_SERVER=http://something.com haste"

After which you can use work_haste to send hastes to that server instead.
