What's Kapow!
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
Say you have nice cozy **shell command** that solves a problem for you. Kapow! let us easily **turn that into an HTTP API**.
|
|
|
|
**Let's explain this with an example**
|
|
|
|
We want to expose **log entries** for files not found on our **Apache Web Server**, as an HTTP API. With Kapow! we just need to write this file:
|
|
|
|
[apache-host]$ cat search-apache-errors.pow
|
|
kapow route add /apache-errors - <<-'EOF'
|
|
cat /var/log/apache2/access.log | grep "File does not exist" | kapow set /response/body
|
|
EOF
|
|
|
|
and then, run it using Kapow!
|
|
|
|
[apache-host]$ kapow server --bind 0.0.0.0:8080 search-apache-errors.pow
|
|
|
|
finally, we can read from the just-defined endpoint:
|
|
|
|
[another-host]$ curl http://apache-host:8080/apache-errors

|
**Why Kapow! shines in these cases**
|
|
|
|
- We can share information without having grant SSH access to anybody.
|
|
- We want to limit what is executed.
|
|
- We can share information easily over HTTP.
