in addition to icon_emoji Slack supports icon_url

I'd like to see icon_url be supported via the conf file. Best would be if it would just take whatever was in that file, override anything set via the command line options, and then send that to the server. That way you've got support for new any new functionality they add WITHOUT having to update the code (until you want it to be overrideable on the command line.)

Hi all,

I'm trying to setup the conf to send messages as my user.

I got the token from the website, by looking at the request slacks sends.

slackcat seems to be sending the messages --or at least it does not tell me the error-- but the messages does not appear on slack, so there must be something broken.

Am I doing something wrong?

I want to pass into slackcat a string like

<http://google.com/|Google link>

and see a real link into slack channel. To do this, slackcat have to pass parse=full as I understand? read more here

But as I see, slackcat has already done it! Mb I should use link_names=1? Anyone knows?

Hi!

What was the rationale behind 8ce046d? I imagine this change in behaviour would be useful when dealing with streaming output. Was that the intended use case?

I use slackcat to plumb finite chunks of command output into Slack. So that the lines of command output are not multiplexed with concurrent channel activity from other users, it would be nice to consume and post the entire stdin stream as before. Marking the text as preformated would also improve legibility.

Would you be receptive to such a PR? We could accommodate both use cases with a new --stream flag.

Is there a reason the default name isn't blank? I tend to give integrations a default name in the hook itself. I'm sure there's reason to use the user@system. Personally, I haven't had a need for it.

P.S. Awesome idea!

I had an issue when attempting to cat a file with an empty line to slackcat. For example if the following is the contents of temp.log:

Hello

World

running cat temp.log | slackcat will result with

$ cat temp.log | slackcat

and only hello printed in slack.
