NAME

       httpfs2 - mount a file from a http server into the filesystem

SYNOPSIS

       httpfs2 [OPTIONS] URL FUSE-OPTIONS httpfs2_ssl [OPTIONS] URL
       FUSE-OPTIONS

DESCRIPTION

       httpfs2 is a FUSE based filesystem for mounting http or https URLS as
       files in the filesystem. There is no notion of listable directories in
       http so only a single URL can be mounted. The server must be able to
       send byte ranges.

OPTIONS

       -c console
           Attempt to use the file ior device console for output after fork.
           The default is /dev/console.

       -f
           Do not fork, stay in foreground.

       -t timeout
           Use different timeout for connections. Default '30’s.

       URL
           The url should specify the protocol as http or https, and it may
           specify basic authentication username and password. Currently
           special characters like whitespace are not handled so the URL
           cannot contain them. See a sample URL below:

               http://user:password@server.com/dir/file

       FUSE-OPTIONS
           These options are passed to the FUSE library. At the very least the
           mount point should be specified.

EXIT STATUS

       0
           Successfully connected to the server

       other
           Failure (url parsing error, server error, FUSE setup error). Some
           FUSE errors may happen only after the process forks so they will
           not be returned in exit value.

BUGS

       The process can be stopped by typing ^Z on the terminal which may not
       be desirable under some circumstances.
