squarepic

squarepic is a simple server that generates a unique picture of squares for any GET request. It features:

• per-request image size and square count parameters
• configurable defaults

Requirements

Some version (preferably latest) of Go installed.

Running

Acquire dependency & run:

$ go get github.com/mc0239/logm

$ go run .

On first run, program will generate a config file and exit. Edit configuration file (if needed) and re-run.

Making a request with non-empty help GET parameter displays a help page with possible options:

http://localhost:9001/?help=1

Example requests:

http://localhost:9001/literally-anything!!!
http://localhost:9001/aaaaa?size=100
http://localhost:9001/something/very/cool?size=200&squares=10
http://localhost:9001/bzk?size=10&mirror=1

Building

Instead of run, do build:

$ go build .
