• #1231 fix http desync if the urlform global-option was changed to get

• ?ls was still a bit jank 0a3a807

  • rephrase errormessages from see serverlog to see fileserver log
• docs:
  • mention in the readme that uploading files from a deeply nested folder using a webbrowser on Windows can fail because browsers don't handle the max-pathlen limitation of Windows optimally (not a copyparty-specific issue, but still hits us)

🌠 fun facts

• n/a; no fun has been had since v1.20.0
  • (that's a lie btw, sniffing the airwaves is pretty darn fun 😁)
