- W3Gate - A Web Access by E-mail
-
- W3Gate (Version 2.0) fetches files from WWW-Server, FTP-Server and
- Gopher-Server and sends them via email to you.
- You have to edit an email addressed to w3mail@gmd.de (w3gate@gmd.de) with
- requests for a Web-document referenced by an URL or for help in the body-part
- of the email.
-
- command-syntax
- --------------
-
- 1) get-command
-
- get [-t | -u | -a [ -c columns]] [-img] [-ps] [-l] [-uu] [-z] [-s size] URL
-
- 2) help-command
-
- help
-
- The Subject-line of your email will be ignored. W3Gate can't read
- MIME-attachments containg the command. Just edit a plain message to use
- W3Gate.
- If the email contains more than one get-command W3Gate processes each command
- and sends the result of each request in a separate mail to you.
- The first word in a command-line must be a 'get' or 'help'!
- Furthermore the URL must start in the same line (up to the next \n) as the
- keyword 'get'!
-
- If you append a signature to your mails put a '-- ' (two minus and one blank)
- in front of it in a separate line to indicate that a signature follows.
- Please configure your mail-reader not to propose any character-strings before
- the message. W3Gate always checks the first word in the message-body and can
- be disturbed by other words than a get/help-command.
- If the email contains incorrect commands W3Gate will send an error-mail with
- a hint to the wrong parts.
-
- Files larger than 100 K are splitted into 100 K pieces that are mailed
- as partial messages to you. You get emails with a sequence number in the
- Subject-field. Then you can reassemble the whole file in appending the
- body-parts of each email according to the sequence number.
-
- Limits
- ------
-
- At maximum W3Gate will send 5 MB or at most 100 mails per request to you.
- Only the first 10 lines of your email will be read by w3gate.
-
- command-options
- ---------------
-
- -t : the HTML-file is formatted to plain text.
-
- -u : the HTML-file is sent to you as formatted plain text preserving
- all URLs occuring in anchor-tags from the HTML-Source.
- The URLs are original from the HTML-source (relative/absolute).
-
- -a : the same as -u but relative URLs referencing documents on the same server
- are completed to full URLs.
-
- -c columns : This option can only be used in combination with the -t -u -a
- options! After columns characters a \n is inserted into the plain-text.
- 'columns' can be in the range from 40 to 255.
-
- -uu : the file you specified is uuencoded before it is mailed to you.
-
- -z : the file will be compressed with gzip. It is recommended to use
- -uu in combination with -z as gzip produces 8-bit files.
-
- -img : W3Gate fetches all inline-images in addition to the requested
- HTML-file. The result is a MIME-mail (multipart/mixed). Images
- are encoded base64. When you specify the -uu option the files will be
- uuencoded instead of base64 encoding.
-
- -l: the referenced document and all HTML-files referenced by hyperlinks
- from that document (max. 100) are attached in a multipart/mixed
- MIME-mail.
-
- -s size: by this option you can fix the size of the message-body you receive.
- The range is from 1 to 100 K.
-
- -ps : The HTML-file/text-file is converted into postcript-format.
-
- W3Gate fetches password-protected files if you insert the user-ID and
- password into the URL:
-
- e.g.
-
- get http://your_user_id:your_password@your_www_server/
-
- You must split long URLs into several lines if your mail-reader inserts a
- newline into the get-command. Therefore you must append a backslash (\) to the
- partial URL to indicate that it is continued in the next line. Multiple
- line-breaks of URLs are also possible.
-
- get http://www.altavista.digital.com/cgi-bin/query?pg=aq&what=web&\
- kl=XX&q=Fussball+and+Bundesliga+and+Koeln+and+Toni+and+Polster&
- r=&d0=21%2FMar%2F86&d1=&search.x=36&search.y=10
-
-
- FTP-Server
- ----------
-
- You can access FTP-Servers in the same way as e.g. Netscape or MIE in giving
- the URL of the file. If you fetch binaries you must add the -uu flag.
- To get a directory-listing of an FTP-directory insert the directory into the
- URL with a slash at the end, e.g. get ftp://ftp.gmd.de/ .
- As result you get an HTML-file inlcuding the ftp-directory structure as
- hyperlinks.
-
-
- examples
- --------
-
- get -z -uu http://www.es.net/pub/rfcs/rfc1738.txt
- get -t -c 132 http://www.es.net/html-stuff/rfcs.html
- get -img http://www.gmd.de/
- get -l -a http://www.gmd.de/
- get -s 16 -uu ftp://ftp.gmd.de/misc/computersongs-1.4.Z
-
-
- Errors
- ------
-
- When W3Gate can't access a document (e.g. server-time-out, too much traffic,
- etc) you will get an error-message. In this case try again later.
