Read-only mode

[vient]

Hi! As name suggests, I think it would be nice to have a --read-only/--no-upload/... switch that disables the upload functionality. What do you think?

First thing I thought of when looking at this. I would go a step further and make the read-only mode the default.

Considering that this is going to be used in a pentester context, it seems reasonable to assume that at some point someone might find a path traversal issue or similar exploit and in that case you don't want people to have upload capabilities when they might not even be using them.

Personally I would feel much more comfortable with a default read only that I can quickly kill, add a flag and restart as a read/write for my work.

Will look into this for next major release. Thanks for your input!

I would like to see this as well. Temp work around I am using is to comment out upload functions in "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/updog/templates/home.html"

is there a way to run this like SimpleHTTPServer, basically open a port and report any HTTP calls, but not share any directories?

I think that might be a job for netcat. Maybe you can tell me more about your use case?
