Convertit is a format conversion webservice.
Retrieve your document in an other format ! The input file is converted and served back !
Using a dead simple GET request, documents are pulled. Using POST request, it takes the attachment.
Supported conversions:
- odt -> pdf
- odt -> doc
- ods -> xls
- csv -> ods
- csv -> xls
- svg -> pdf
- svg -> png
- doc -> pdf
- docx -> pdf
- ppt -> pdf
- pptx -> pdf
Previously converted documents are cleaned along the way (on each request).
Example, convert from odt to pdf :
curl http://convertit/?url=http://server/document.odt&to=application/pdf HTTP/1.1 302 Found Content-Disposition: attachement; filename=document.pdf ...
GET parameters:
url: absolute url of the document to be converted.
"url" also supports a "{X_FORWARDED_FOR}" placeholder for requests not knowing their own host. "{X_FORWARDED_FOR}" will be replaced with the corresponding "X_FORWARDED_FOR" header if available. Be warned that "X_FORWARDED_FOR" is not a safe value since it can be modified by user agents or given false value by forward proxies. Use only if really needed. Exemple:
curl "http://convertit/?url=http://{X_FORWARDED_FOR}/document.odt&to=application/pdf"
Upload data in POST parameter named file:
curl -F "[email protected]" http://convertit/?to=image/png HTTP/1.1 302 Found Content-Disposition: attachement; filename=tiger.png
