Server /status/ should show client-config #536

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
From the server's /status/ or similar, the web UI should tell the user what 
client-config.json to use on their local machine to hit that server.

This should include any self-signed SSL cert trust config.

Actually we could add "Help" to the Pudgy menu.

And then have /help/ which shows things like /help/client-config

We could even have links to download the camput/camget/camtool binaries (from 
camlistore.org), using URLs that include the version the user is running, like:

   https://camlistore.org/dl/0.9/mac/camtool
   https://camlistore.org/dl/0.9/linux/camtool
   https://camlistore.org/dl/0.9/windows/camtool.exe

Also, be sure to use pkg/types/camtypes for the client config when generating 
JSON, so it doesn't get out of sync with other docs.  No manual printfs or 
map[string]interface{} when dumping /help/client-config

Maybe we need a switcher-dropdown to pick the client OS.  Or use the browser's 
declared OS as the default (or only option).  Or just show all relevant 
possibilities (two or three?) for the default paths.
