Ah, this is really more of using HTTP to transfer files. I do something similar with the default python web server module to transfer files in a pinch but this also implements the post/put part of the transfer with some nice buttons (instead of me straight up curl’ing the files to my desktop via the running http server).
My understanding is that captchas were never supposed to be impenetrable, just difficult enough that to have bots (or mechanical turks) solve them at scale is expensive enough to deter that kind of automation. It’s probably getting a lot easier for a computer to solve nowadays though.
