eberkheev c467a4d254 fix(auth): stop leaking the token via URL, log and Referer
A token passed as `?token=` was accepted on every route, so it ended
up in the request log (and journald), browser history and Referer.

- drop `?token=` from _check_auth; API and download routes now take
  only the cookie or an Authorization: Bearer header
- keep pre-authenticated links working: on the index route a valid
  `?token=` is swapped for the cookie and redirected to a clean URL,
  so the secret does not linger in the address bar
- redact `token=` from log output
- send Referrer-Policy: no-referrer, and mark the cookie Secure

# Share
Local network file sharing via web page. Drag & drop, Ctrl+V paste, download.
No dependencies — Python 3 stdlib only.
Setting this up on a new machine? See [SETUP.md](SETUP.md).
## Quick start
```
./install.sh # generates a token, installs + starts the systemd service
```
Or run it in the foreground without installing anything:
```
cp share.config.example share.config # then set `token` in it
python3 share.py
```
Open `https://localhost:3001` in a browser. The network address is printed at
startup. The cert is self-signed, so expect a browser warning on first visit.
## Options
CLI flags override `share.config`.
```
python3 share.py -p 3001 -d ~/Downloads/shared --ttl 7
```
| Flag | Default | Description |
|------|---------|-------------|
| `-p`, `--port` | `3001` | Port |
| `-d`, `--dir` | `~/Downloads/shared` | Upload directory |
| `--ttl` | `7` | File lifetime in days (0 = keep forever) |
| `--token` | | Auth token (empty = open access) |
| `--cert` | | Path to SSL certificate |
| `--key` | | Path to SSL key |
## Authentication
Set `token` in `share.config` or pass `--token`. All endpoints require a valid
token. An empty `token` means open access to everyone on the network.
The token is accepted as an `Authorization: Bearer` header or the `share_token`
cookie set by the login page. A `?token=` link works only on `/` — it is exchanged
for the cookie and redirected away so the secret does not linger in the URL.
`share.config` is gitignored because it holds the secret — `share.config.example`
is the tracked template.
The token can be stored as plain text or as a SHA-256 hash:
```
# generate hash
python3 share.py hash mytoken
# store in share.config
token = 9c56cc51b374c3ba189210d5b6d0d04...
```
If the value is a 64-character hex string, it is treated as a hash. Otherwise it is hashed automatically at startup.
## systemd (Arch)
Installed by `./install.sh` from `share.service.template` to
`~/.config/systemd/user/share.service`. Restart after editing `share.config`
it is only read at startup.
```
systemctl --user enable --now share # start + autostart
systemctl --user restart share # restart
systemctl --user stop share # stop
journalctl --user -u share -f # logs
```
## Features
- Drag & drop files onto the page
- Ctrl+V to paste images / files from clipboard
- Click the drop zone to open file picker
- Upload progress bar
- File list with download and delete
- Auto-cleanup of old files (configurable via `--ttl`)
