- Short: Utilities to fetch HTTP files. (07/01/98)
- Author: greyl@videotron.ca (Serge Emond)
- Uploader: greyl@videotron.ca (Serge Emond)
- Type: comm/www
-
- Requires at least OS 3.0, rexxdossupport.library V2 and AmiTCP 4.0+.
- Rexxdossupport can be found on AmiNet (util/rexx/rexxdossupport.lha)
-
- This archive contains executables for 68000.
-
- Contains 4 things:
- 1) GrabHTTP. Can grab files using the HTTP protocol. (ARexx host)
- 2) UrlManager. Keep a list of urls. (ARexx host)
- 3) ScanHTML. Scans an HTML file and creates a list of the urls
- contained in it.
- 4) GrabURL.rexx.
-
- The last one uses the 3 others to grab one or more files using HTTP.
-
- It can collect files recursively using AmigaDOS patterns and has a lot of
- options.
-
- GrabHTTP also has a small GUI indicating the progress of the download.
-
- This is freeware. It works without crashing on my system.
-
- * Note:
-
- This version is **much** more stable for the Amiga than the "ported" unix
- version (2.0). It also offers much more features. I suggest using this
- instead of the port. Since the only reason I turned my Amiga on the last
- month was about graburl, I doubt I will ever really make a 2.0 version with
- more features. The only modifications that may arise are small ones to
- make those programs work with the constantly varying HTTP/HTML protocols,
- as long as they remain SMALL.
-
- You might want to check GrabURL's page, which doesn't contain much:
- http://pages.infinit.net/greyl/graburl/

- Partial change-list since last release:
- GrabHTTP 1.05
- - Sends Host and "Connection: close" ("simulates" http 1.1 requests)
