# Haste Client
haste-client is a simple client for uploading data to haste-server. All you do it pipe data in STDIN:
`cat file | haste`
And once the output makes it to the server, it will print the URL to STDOUT.
This can be really really cool in combination with `pbcopy`, like:
* mac osx: `cat file | haste | pbcopy`
* linux: `cat file | haste | xsel`
after which the contents of `file` will be accessible at a URL which has been copied to your pasteboard.
## Installation
``` bash
gem install haste
```
## Support
Please consider paying what you think haste-client is worth:

## Making uploading file contents easier
If you supply a valid file path as argument #1 to the client, it will be uploaded:
``` bash
# equivelant
cat file | haste
haste file
```
## Changing the location of your haste server
By default, haste will point at `http://hastebin.com`. You can change this by setting the value of `ENV['HASTE_SERVER']` to the URL of your haste server. You can also use `alias` to make easy shortcuts if you commonly use a few hastes intermingled with each other. To do that, you'd put something like this into ~.bash_profile:
``` bash
alias work_haste="HASTE_SERVER=http://something.com haste"
```
After which you can use `work_haste` to send hastes to that server instead.
## Use as a library
You can also use `Haste` as a library to upload hastes:
``` ruby
uploader = Haste::Uploader.new
uploader.upload_raw 'this is my data' # key
```
## Windows Support
If you'd like an alternative on Windows that supports functionality similar to `pbcopy`, check out Aidan Ryan's [WinHaste](https://github.com/ajryan/WinHaste) project.
## Lightweight Alternative
Han Boetes has contributed a simple shell-script alternative for those not interested in installing a RubyGem:
``` bash
haste(){ ( echo "% $@"; eval "$@" ) | curl -F "$@=<-" http://hastebin.com/documents|awk -F '"' '{print "http://hastebin.com/"$4}'}
```
Usage:
``` bash
haste `cat index.html
```
