Summary

Mini remote downloader

Description
A simple web app to help you download files on home server or on pc at home. Built with as little dependencies as possible. Currently using flask for handling requests but even that might be overkill because API should be really mininalistic. Please suggest anything how to improve it.

    @Mitiko Often in work i find new video or that new episode of serial just came out or
    it could be anything. So instead of storing links to OneNote or something like that I thought it would be cool if i could dowload remotely so i can directly play it when i get home.

    @skyyydeveloper i actually want to run this on headless server and be as quick as possible not trying to connect via ssh or something like that

    @P1Ro I had a similar idea, but for make-it-yourself-commands. So normal users can record macros and devs can write code. It had to be an API, not just an app, but I had no time to finish it.

    This looks like a genuinely usefull little program and I really want to use this but I don't know of the easiest way to make a POST request from either my laptop or my phone. i don't want to write my own webapp for that. Can someone maybe point me in the right direction for what I should search for?

    PC/Mac: Postman
    Android: REST Api Client Android
    iOS: Postman - The POST Request Tool

    @px06 I find this more convinient, like my gf can use this. GL explaining ssh + wget to your gf or parents. Plus wget can't download videos and music from youtube.

    Just for understanding: something like a Download manager running on your homeserver with an API?
