Use crypto

Open lprimeroo opened this issue 9 years ago • 4 comments

use crypto to add a hash at the end of your download url . This decreases chances of url collision .

Yes but this also makes it unwieldy to share the URL by mouth, which is one of the strong use cases.

Yeah, that's there. This was just an advice to avoid the situation where you might receive huge number of independent connections at a particular time with only a limited urls to share.

I've tossed around the idea of an optional encryption password the uploader can specify, which is attached as a hash to the URL. Would be happy to merge a PR related to this.
