    </center>
    <p>
      Welcome to Wget Gateway, a simple page showing the usage of
      socksified wget behind a firewall. In my configuration it is
      very useful because:
    <ul>
      <li>Only few users can exit from firewall
      <li>A lot of users need information that can be reached in Internet
      <li>I cannot dowload big files during my job time, so, I
	have to schedule the requests after the normal work time
    </ul>

    <p>
      With the combination of a socksified wget and a simple cgi
      that schedules the requests can I reach the aim. All you need
      is:
    <ul>
      <li> A socksified copy of
	<a href="ftp://gnjilux.cc.fer.hr/pub/unix/util/wget/wget.tar.gz">
	  wget</a>
      <li> Perl (available on all the GNU mirroring sites)
      <li> cgi-lib.pl (available at
	<a href="ftp://ftp.switch.ch/mirror/CPAN/ROADMAP.html">CPAN</a>)
      <li> A customized copy of this html
      <li> A customized copy of socks.cgi
    </ul>
    This is my h/s configuration:
    <pre>

+----------+ +----------------------------------+ +---------------------+
| Firewall | | Host that can exit from firewall | | Intranet www server |
+----------+ |            htceff                | +---------------------+
             +----------------------------------+ | Wget.html           |
             | socksified wget                  | +---------------------+
	     | cgi-lib.pl                       | 
	     | perl                             |
	     | wget.cgi                         |
	     +----------------------------------+
    </pre>
    <p>
      wget.cgi, wget and cgi-lib.pl are located in the usual
      cgi-bin directory. The customization of wget.cgi and
      wget.html has to reflect you installation, i.e.:
    <ul>
      <li> download-netscape.html requires wget.cgi
      <li> wget.cgi requires Perl, cgi-lib.pl and wget
      <li>
	wget.cgi has to download the files to a directory writable
	by the user submitting the request.  At the moment I have an
	anonymous ftp installed on <em>htceff</em>, and wget puts
	dowloaded files to /pub/incoming directory (if you look at
	wget.cgi, it sets the destdir to "/u/ftp/pub/incoming" if
	the user leaves it blank).
    </ul>
    <p>
      You can also add other parameters that you want to pass to wget,
      but in this case you will also have to modify wget.cgi

    <hr>
    <form method="get" action="http://localhost/cgi-bin/wget.cgi">
      <center>
	<table border=1>
	    <td>Recursive Download
	    <td><select name=Recursion>
		<Option selected value=N>No</Option>
		<Option value=Y>Yes</Option>
	      </select>
	</table>
	<hr>
	<table border=1>
	    <td>Depth
	    <td><input type="radio" name=depth value=1 checked> 1
	    <td><input type="radio" name=depth value=2 > 2
	    <td><input type="radio" name=depth value=3 > 3 
	    <td><input type="radio" name=depth value=4 > 4
	    <td><input type="radio" name=depth value=5 > 5
	</table>
	<hr>
	<table>
	    <td>Url to download: <td><input name="url" size=50><TR>
	    <td>Destination directory: <td><input name="destdir" size=50><TR>
	</table>
	<hr>
	Now you can
	<font color=yellow><input type="submit"	value="download"></font>
	the requested URL or
	<font color=yellow><input type="reset" value="reset"></font>
	the form.
    </form>
