This val is a wrapper on top of the val.town run api, improving it with additional features:

• basic auth
• content-type header in response based on url file extension

The content-type will be inferred from the filename using the mime-types library.

If you use a .html extension, the response will be interpreted as text/html

~ $ curl -v 'https://pomdtr-run.web.val.run/pomdtr/helloWorld.html'
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
...
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
...

Hello, World!

If you switch the extension to .txt, the content-type header switch to text/raw.

~ $ curl -v 'https://pomdtr-run.web.val.run/pomdtr/helloWorld.txt'
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
...
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
...

Hello, World!

The request is proxyed to the run api, so you can pass args to your vals via query params or body. See the run api docs for more details.

~ $ curl -X POST -d '{"args": ["pomdtr"]}' 'https://pomdtr-run.web.val.run/pomdtr/helloWorld.html'
...
< content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8
...

Hello, pomdtr!

Just add your val town token as the username:

curl  'https://<val-token>@pomdtr-run.web.val.run/pomdtr/privateVal.txt'
