This adds a simple file upload page that works with the Python standard library http.server module, using CGI. No modules or installations required.
Just place the cgi-bin folder from this repo in a directory, then run the http.server command with the --cgi flag from that directory, and visit http://localhost:8000/cgi-bin/pyupload.cgi
python3 -m http.server --cgi
If you have the qrcode Python library installed it will render a QR code using your machine's .local address to make it simpler to access from other devices.
Who doesn't want to write cgi scripts in 2023? Kids these days have no idea how the world used to work.
But actually–the http.server module is really handy and very widely available. Sometimes you just want to drop some files to another machine.
Ensure your user has execute permissions on the cgi file.
Try: chmod +x ./cgi-bin/pyupload.cgi
