[insert logo here]
instead of developing httpnet, i decided to make a new extremely useful api (and example program/pipe thing) that allows for wrapping folders as "pipes" that allow for you to do some cool stuff such as piping files into a table or even over the network, all seamlessly
i tried my best to emulate the fs api completely which includes errors and undefined behavior which makes it good as a learning tool to see how the fs api works
i can imagine many applications like having extremely fast fs access for something like tmp which is erased when the computer reboots or for encrypting the disk seamlessly
not too much documentation on this as it is pretty straight forward
i will start working on httpnet (reeeally close to finishing), not sure when i can start the server
please report bugs/suggestions ^-^

note: this might take awhile to be approved (dont ask) so make sure to check github for the latest info
A whole 18 minutes. Sooo long. :P/>

Edit: On topic, are you going to extend the functionality to something like immibis' vfs?

yes but it isnt secure if you want it to be more secure you can use the soon to be new httpnet wrapping function

oh wow wow i just saw that and it is the same exact thing xD
except he does not have proper errors and does not completely emulate it
http sounds like a cool idea though, ima add that and make the modem pipe actually save data
also i forgot i had used my own apis but diddnt include them

Where you'd least expect it.

From looking at the code, shouldn't you be making a copy of fs instead of assigning it a new name?
From my experience, if
type(y)=="table"
and then you assign x to y:
x=y
x is just a pointer/reference to y, not a copy.
If you were to redirect fs to a network, it would become a recursive loop.
Correct me if I'm wrong, or just misinterpreted your code.

tables dont point to other variables they point to the actual data
edit:
to clarify
y does not point to x
both point to a table
so if you modify y it does not effect how x points to the table

Mudkip is right.
local a = {2, 4, 6}
local b = a
b[4] = 8
print(a[4])
That will print 8.

all the nope
not what he meant
local ofs=fs
fs={
derp=function()
ofs.derp()
end,
}
fs.derp
will not cause recursion

What he said was correct, but if he missed you redefining it, then the concern about recursion is unfounded.

This is really nice, I can see it being used for remote logging in to computers but with an individual instance (i.e. in vnc). (similar to how Windows Server works)
Haven't looked a the code too much, but would it be possible to mount it at root? So something like this:
vfs.mount("/",dofile("fileshare")())

The only thing that I dislike about your whole project:
The code on github isn't formatted to be Lua code, it's just plain text…
OCD FTW

its because CC doesnt have the .lua so github doesnt do its fancyness
