Short: HTTPJ v1.10 - URLs receipt via Shell
Author: pghezzo@dsi.unive.it (Piergiorgio Ghezzo)
Uploader: pghezzo@dsi.unive.it (Piergiorgio Ghezzo)
Version: 1.10
Type: comm/www
In these hindmost years InterNet has become the true fashion of the
informatic: to the mother of all the nets, in fact, are added each day new
users, inclined by ludicious purposes or job necessities. Users has
discovered how it is possible to obtain each kind of information, in real
time, at a simple phone call cost (when necessary). Each firm by now has
its HTML pages where publicizes its own products and establishes a direct
thread with the costumers. The word "NetSurfer" has been created,
indicating who likes travelling with the help of a browser between the
thousands of WWW existing pages on the net.
Sometimes, however, it could happen that it is necessary to find out a
single page, an image or a file; so, surfing through the net with a browser
seems to become harder and slower. In these situations HTTPJ becomes an
indispensable friend! Any example?
· Using a predisposed script, it is possible to download the last world
news page from the net, convert it in ASCII format and visualize it
with a normal Text Viewer.
· BBS SysOps could have on line the pages with the timetable of the
trains, airplanes, undergrounds, always up-to-date.
· With the help of a script, it is possible to teach our mailer to
download a file announced in a message, directly from its support
site.
· Equally, the tonight television programs list could be had.
Only the imagination could limit the use of this program, chiefly useful
for Sysops that want to supply their users always up-to-date news.
