- <h1>Wget Gateway</h1>
- <p>
- Welcome to Wget Gateway, a simple page showing the usage of
- socksified wget behind a firewall. In my configuration it is
- very useful because:
- <ul>
- <li>Only few users can exit from firewall
- <li>A lot of users need information that can be reached in Internet
- <li>I cannot dowload big files during my job time, so, I
- have to schedule the requests after the normal work time
- </ul>
-
- <p>
- With the combination of a socksified wget and a simple cgi
- that schedules the requests can I reach the aim. All you need
- is:
- <ul>
- <li> A socksified copy of
- <a href="ftp://gnjilux.cc.fer.hr/pub/unix/util/wget/wget.tar.gz">
- wget</a>
- <li> Perl (available on all the GNU mirroring sites)
- <li> cgi-lib.pl (available at
- <a href="ftp://ftp.switch.ch/mirror/CPAN/ROADMAP.html">CPAN</a>)
- <li> A customized copy of this html
- <li> A customized copy of socks.cgi
- </ul>
- This is my h/s configuration:
- <pre>
-
-+----------+ +----------------------------------+ +---------------------+
-| Firewall | | Host that can exit from firewall | | Intranet www server |
-+----------+ | htceff | +---------------------+
- +----------------------------------+ | Wget.html |
- | socksified wget | +---------------------+
- | cgi-lib.pl |
- | perl |
- | wget.cgi |
- +----------------------------------+
- </pre>
- <p>
- wget.cgi, wget and cgi-lib.pl are located in the usual
- cgi-bin directory. The customization of wget.cgi and
- wget.html has to reflect you installation, i.e.:
- <ul>
- <li> download.html requires wget.cgi
- <li> wget.cgi requires Perl, cgi-lib.pl and wget
- <li>
- wget.cgi has to download the files to a directory writable
- by the user submitting the request. At the moment I have an
- anonymous ftp installed on <em>htceff</em>, and wget puts
- dowloaded files to /pub/incoming directory (if you look at
- wget.cgi, it sets the destdir to "/u/ftp/pub/incoming" if
- the user leaves it blank).
- </ul>
- <p>
- You can also add other parameters that you want to pass to wget,
- but in this case you will also have to modify wget.cgi
-
- <hr>
- <form method="get" action="http://localhost/cgi-bin/wget.cgi">
- <h3>Downloading (optionally recursive)</h3>
- <ul>
- <li>
- Recursion:
- <Select name=Recursion>
- <Option selected value=N>No</Option>
- <Option value=Y>Yes</Option>
- </Select>
- <li>
- Depth:
- <input type="radio" name=depth value=1 checked>1
- <input type="radio" name=depth value=2 >2
- <input type="radio" name=depth value=3 >3
- <input type="radio" name=depth value=4 >4
- <input type="radio" name=depth value=5 >5
- <li>
- Url to download: <input name="url" size=50>
- <li>
- Destination directory: <input name="destdir" size=50>
- </ul>
- Now you can <input type="submit" value="download"> the
- requested URL or <input type="reset" value="reset"> the form.
