Zip-Starter

A Starter-Server for harvesting

zip-starter is a single-route app that only accepts JSON POST requests. Its job is to create a "Starter" zip archive for adding data to, properlyconfigured according to the guide: https://github.com/datarefugephilly/workflow/tree/master/harvesting-toolkit#3-generate-html-json--directory

The archive derives it's name from the path posted to, or the "uuid" paremeter of the json document, favoring the json entry.

if a "url" key is specified in the json document, the server will fetch the document in question and write it to [name].html
