A HTTP Interface for pdf2htmlEx

This a basic HTTP service that converts PDF files to HTML using the library pdf2htmlEx.

The HTTP service is implemented in Go. The client must provide a PDF file in a POST request and the service will return the tranformed file in HTML.

Example using Curl for consuming the service

    curl -F "pdf=@/home/chris/document.pdf" http://localhost:8080/ > output.html

Currently this is basic implementation that does not allow any kind of configuration. The listening port is hardcoded to be 8080 and there is no way to send custom calling params to pdf2htmlEX.

A GO intallation is required for building the HTTP service. Execute build.sh to build the final executable file.

Feel free to fork and enhance the implementation of the server.
