Bug#1015802: RFP: qrcp -- transfer files by qrcode



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-go@lists.debian.org

* Package name    : qrcp
  Version         : 0.9.1
  Upstream Author : https://github.com/claudiodangelis
* URL             : https://github.com/claudiodangelis/qrcp

  Programming Lang: Golang
  Description     : transfer files by qrcode

Transfer files over Wi-Fi from your computer to a mobile device by
scanning a QR code without leaving the terminal.

qrcp binds a web server to the address of your Wi-Fi network interface
on a random port and creates a handler for it. The default handler
serves the content and exits the program when the transfer is
complete. When used to receive files, qrcp serves an upload page and
handles the transfer.

The tool prints a QR code that encodes the text:

http://{address}:{port}/{random_path}

Most QR apps can detect URLs in decoded text and act accordingly
(i.e. open the decoded URL with the default browser), so when the QR
code is scanned the content will begin downloading by the mobile
browser.

It can send and receive files from other devices.

While there are tools that could be duct-taped together to do this in
Debian, there's no one-stop-shop that actually does like this, pretty
neat.
