Local Usage

Run the docker image, exposing port 5005 (because 5001 doesn't work on a Mac)

docker run -d -p 5005:5001 edivorce/weasyprint

A POST to port /pdf on port 5001 with an html body with give a response containing a PDF. The filename may be set using a query parameter, e.g.:

curl -X POST -d @source.html http://127.0.0.1:5005/pdf?filename=result.pdf

This will use the file source.html and return a response with Content-Type: application/pdf and Content-Disposition: inline; filename=result.pdf headers. The body of the response will be the PDF.

In addition /health is a health check endpoint and a GET returns 'ok'.
