LFTP server

JSON RPC server for LFTP.

Description

LFTP server is a HTTP server that accepts FTP download requests in JSON format and forwards them to LFTP. Requests have the following format:

{
	"path": "...",
	"username": "...",
	"password": "...",
	"secret": "..."
}

Path is FTP file or directory to be downloaded, username/password are optional FTP credentials, and secret must match --rpc-secret parameter used when server was started.

If the request was valid, server sends 200 OK response to the client, with the ID of the created job. Response looks like this:

{
	"id": "..."
}

In case of any error, server sends 400 Bad Request to the client, with the error message in the following format:

{
	"message": "..."
}

If FTP credentials are missing or invalid, server responds to the client with 401 Unauthorized status code.
