Works great, and I'm planning on integrating that functionality into my project which transfers files between laptops using only wireless cards, no LAN required. https://github.com/spieglt/flyingcarpet

I'm trying to collect as much info as possible to identify the cause. Thanks!
In Show HN: Transfer files to mobile device by scanning a QR code from the terminalHere is a small issue:
https://github.com/claudiodangelis/qr-filetransfer/blob/mast...
I don't know if it is the barcode scanner app (I use the one from zxing, a very popular choice), or the Android implementation (LG, Android 7), but here is a description of what happens:
As soon as I scan the barcode, it is copied to the clipboard. Then something goes to check if the URL is working (the barcode app? android clipboard? not sure). Since you exit after the first request, my browser never gets the chance to download the file.
If I remove the os.Exit(), I get it working (and then terminate qr-filetransfer via ctrl+c).
Anyhow, very nice work. Kudos!
In Show HN: Transfer files to mobile device by scanning a QR code from the terminalOh, sorry to hear! I have no idea at the moment, do you mind opening an issue on Github? I can take care of opening an issue myself tomorrow if you can't.
