+httpaste is a pastebin application for easily pasting and retrieving data over
+HTTP from shell environments and web browsers. It is inspired by [sprunge.us](http://sprunge.us)
+and [ix.io](http://ix.io/), but focuses on extendability, advanced security, with little to
+no trade-off to simplicity. It can be hosted through WSGI, CGI, Fast CGI, or
