+ <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.
