Re: "slcl 0.2.1 release"

In: s/self-hosted

So far, I have successfully tested file previews on LibreWolf, Mull Browser, Ungoogled Chromium, Tor Browser and SeaMonkey. Some file formats, such as .wav, might or might not be previewed by the browser, and would instead be served as a regular file download.

However, I have never seen a web browser that would render images or PDFs as text. Previews only differ from regular downloads on the contents of the "Content-Disposition" HTTP header (inline or attachment; filename="<filename>", respectively), so it is up to the browser how to render "Content-Disposition: inline".

Maybe you should check your web browser settings, or try with different browsers.

Is there any unexpected output from slcl when attempting to preview a file?

It is strongly recommended that existing instances update to the newer version when possible. If you have never heard about this project before, it aims to provide similar features to Nextcloud's "Files" webapp, but using ~100x less resources. It has almost no dependencies and relies on libweb, a HTTP web...
