HTTPDirFS - filesystem client for HTTP directory listing

httpdirfs [options] URL mountpoint

HTTPDirFS is program that can be used to mount HTTP directory listings (generated using an Apache DirectoryIndex, for example) as a virtual filesystem through the FUSE interface. It supports HTTP basic authentication and proxy.

mount options
print help
print version

HTTP authentication username
HTTP authentication password
Proxy for libcurl, for more details refer to https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/CURLOPT_PROXY.html
Username for the proxy
Password for the proxy
Enable cache (default: off)
Set a custom cache location (default: "${XDG_CACHE_HOME}/httpdirfs")
Set cache download segment size, in MB (default: 8) Note: this setting is ignored if previously cached data is found for the requested file.
Set maximum number of download segments a file can have. (default: 128*1024) With the default setting, the maximum memory usage per file is 128KB. This allows caching files up to 1TB in size using the default segment size.
Set maximum number of network connections that libcurl is allowed to make. (default: 10)
Set delay in seconds before retrying an HTTP request after encountering an error. (default: 5)
Set user agent string (default: "HTTPDirFS")
