Freedom Controller - new release - v0.7.7

[Dave Jones]

Server ops can go ahead and upgrade.  The release notes are here.

The upgrade command is:  sudo /opt/cartulary/bin/upgrade.sh

The primary focus of this release is on token authentication support when cartulizing articles, with a couple of other bells and whistles thrown in.  You can get your private token from the prefs page after upgrading.

You can now send a url to be cartulized by sending a POST to "your.cart.server/cgi/in/cartulize" with a private token as a parameter. You can use this API to send article urls or full body content to your server to be archived from any other app or service or workflow. The most obvious use for it right off the bat is to use it with Apple's IOS Shortcuts app to create a share sheet item for cartulizing urls. This lets you work around those times when an app doesn't show Safari as a share target, or when a particular site blocks access from your cart server, or when a site restricts bookmarklet activity by CSP policy. 

I've been using it on my iPhone for a while now, and it works great as a fall back because it lets Safari grab the content of the page, then sends the full content to the server to be archived.

I could also see it being used with services like IFTTT of Microsoft Flow.

If someone comes up with cool uses for this I'd love to hear it.  For more details on the parameter names and such, look at the release notes.

If I can figure out how to share an Apple Shortcut script I'll post mine here in the group.
