Short: Integrate FTP and HTTP resume support into AWeb-II 3.2
Author: Duane McDonnell <tachyon@tolstoi.saccii.net.au>
Uploader: Duane McDonnell <tachyon@tolstoi.saccii.net.au>
Version: 1.11
Type: comm/www
Requires: AWeb-II 3.2; HTTPResume, Wget or similar.
========================================================================
AWebResume is a system snooper which integrates FTP and HTTP resume
support into AWeb. It does this by interfacing AWeb with external
resumption programs so that interrupted downloads can be both detected
and resumed in a seamless fashion.
This version of AWebResume is designed for use with AWeb-II 3.2 (demo
and registered).
AWebResume features:
- Automatic detection of interrupted downloads.
- Overrides AWeb's "incomplete file" requesters to give you the option
to retry, resume, delete or retain a partially downloaded file.
- Retrieval of stubborn files via your e-mail account.
- Prevents AWeb from deleting partially downloaded files without asking.
- Opening of download files in shared mode so that other programs can
read files as AWeb downloads them (useful for checking an archive's
contents before a download has completed or for previewing files).
- Automated download resumptions for ARexx initiated transfers and
requester timeouts (for unattended operations).
- Logging of interrupted downloads so that you can collect them at a
later date.
- Fast, transparent snooping.
- Fully configurable.
To use the software you will need FTP and HTTP retrieval programs with
resume support. AWebResume comes configured to use HTTPResume by
Andriya Antonijevic for HTTP and HTTPS resumptions and GNU Wget for FTP
resumptions. These programs are not included as part of the AWebResume
distribution archive (you can obtain them from Aminet directories
comm/www and dev/gg respectively).
