### Run uploadserver with HTTPS and Client Authentication

Source: https://pypi.org/project/uploadserver/6.0.3

Enables mTLS by requiring a client certificate for secure file uploads.

```bash
# Generate self-signed server certificate
openssl req -x509 -out server.pem -keyout server.pem -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -sha256 -subj '/CN=server'

# Generate self-signed client certificate
openssl req -x509 -out client.pem -keyout client.pem -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -sha256 -subj '/CN=client'

# Extract public key from self-signed client certificate
openssl x509 -in client.pem -out client.crt

# The server root should not contain the certificates, for security reasons
cd server-root
python3 -m uploadserver --server-certificate server.pem --client-certificate client.crt

# Connect as a client
curl -X POST https://localhost:8000/upload --insecure --cert client.pem -F files=@mtls-example.txt
```

--------------------------------

### Run uploadserver with HTTPS

Source: https://pypi.org/project/uploadserver/6.0.3

Configures the server with a self-signed certificate for encrypted communication without client verification.

```bash
# Generate self-signed server certificate
openssl req -x509 -out server.pem -keyout server.pem -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -sha256 -subj '/CN=server'

# The server root should not contain the certificate, for security reasons
cd server-root
python3 -m uploadserver --server-certificate server.pem

# Connect as a client
curl -X POST https://localhost:8000/upload --insecure -F files=@simple-example.txt
```

--------------------------------

### Upload with Basic Authentication via cURL

Source: https://pypi.org/project/uploadserver/6.0.3

Performs an authenticated file upload using cURL.

```bash
curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8000/upload -F 'files=@basicauth-example.txt' -u hello:world

curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8000/upload -F 'files=@multiple-example-1.txt' -F 'files=@multiple-example-2.txt'
```

--------------------------------

### Configure Upload-only Basic Authentication

Source: https://pypi.org/project/uploadserver/6.0.3
