Beschreibung
This is different from the receiver mode described in #97.
It would be nice for OnionShare to be a full-featured, end-to-end file-sending application. Users could send and receive files by sharing .onion URLs with each other, without ever having to open and perform any navigation using the Tor Browser. An OnionShare URL may be entered into a new part of the interface, and then the file will be downloaded and saved locally over Tor.
I haven't delved into the code yet, so I don't know which Python libraries are in use (I assume it's stem, etc.), but the implementation is very simple. You'd just be using the Tor SOCKS proxy to make an HTTP GET request with urllib or requests, and save it to ~/Downloads or a custom location.
From what I hear on Twitter, there is interest in this feature.
