9 <h1>Wget Gateway</h1>
10 <p>
11 Welcome to Wget Gateway, a simple page showing the usage of
12 socksified wget behind a firewall. In my configuration it is
13 very useful because:
14 <ul>
15 <li>Only few users can exit from firewall
16 <li>A lot of users need information that can be reached in Internet
17 <li>I cannot dowload big files during my job time, so, I
18 have to schedule the requests after the normal work time
19 </ul>
20
21 <p>
22 With the combination of a socksified wget and a simple cgi
23 that schedules the requests can I reach the aim. All you need
24 is:
25 <ul>
26 <li> A socksified copy of
27 <a href="ftp://gnjilux.cc.fer.hr/pub/unix/util/wget/wget.tar.gz">
28 wget</a>
29 <li> Perl (available on all the GNU mirroring sites)
30 <li> cgi-lib.pl (available at
31 <a href="ftp://ftp.switch.ch/mirror/CPAN/ROADMAP.html">CPAN</a>)
32 <li> A customized copy of this html
33 <li> A customized copy of socks.cgi
34 </ul>
35 This is my h/s configuration:
36 <pre>
37
38+----------+ +----------------------------------+ +---------------------+
39| Firewall | | Host that can exit from firewall | | Intranet www server |
40+----------+ | htceff | +---------------------+
41 +----------------------------------+ | Wget.html |
42 | socksified wget | +---------------------+
43 | cgi-lib.pl |
44 | perl |
45 | wget.cgi |
46 +----------------------------------+
47 </pre>
48 <p>
49 wget.cgi, wget and cgi-lib.pl are located in the usual
50 cgi-bin directory. The customization of wget.cgi and
51 wget.html has to reflect you installation, i.e.:
52 <ul>
53 <li> download.html requires wget.cgi
54 <li> wget.cgi requires Perl, cgi-lib.pl and wget
55 <li>
56 wget.cgi has to download the files to a directory writable
57 by the user submitting the request. At the moment I have an
58 anonymous ftp installed on <em>htceff</em>, and wget puts
59 dowloaded files to /pub/incoming directory (if you look at
60 wget.cgi, it sets the destdir to "/u/ftp/pub/incoming" if
61 the user leaves it blank).
62 </ul>
63 <p>
64 You can also add other parameters that you want to pass to wget,
65 but in this case you will also have to modify wget.cgi
66
67 <hr>
68 <form method="get" action="http://localhost/cgi-bin/wget.cgi">
69 <h3>Downloading (optionally recursive)</h3>
70 <ul>
71 <li>
72 Recursion:
73 <Select name=Recursion>
74 <Option selected value=N>No</Option>
75 <Option value=Y>Yes</Option>
76 </Select>
77 <li>
78 Depth:
79 <input type="radio" name=depth value=1 checked>1
80 <input type="radio" name=depth value=2 >2
81 <input type="radio" name=depth value=3 >3
82 <input type="radio" name=depth value=4 >4
83 <input type="radio" name=depth value=5 >5
84 <li>
85 Url to download: <input name="url" size=50>
86 <li>
87 Destination directory: <input name="destdir" size=50>
88 </ul>
89 Now you can <input type="submit" value="download"> the
90 requested URL or <input type="reset" value="reset"> the form.
