## This is "webget"
##
## Jeffrey Friedl (jfriedl@omron.co.jp), July 1994.
## Copyright 19.... ah hell, just take it.
## Should work with either perl4 or perl5
##
## BLURB:
## Given a URL on the command line (HTTP and FTP supported at the moment),
## webget fetches the named object (HTML text, images, audio, whatever the
## object happens to be). Will automatically use a proxy if one is defined
## in the environment, follow "this URL has moved" responses, and retry
## "can't find host" responses from a proxy in case host lookup was slow).
## Supports users & passwords (FTP), Basic Authorization (HTTP), update-if-
## modified (HTTP), and much more. Works with perl4 or perl5.

##
## More-detailed instructions in the comment block below the history list.
##

##
## To-do:
##   Add gopher support.
##   Fix up how error messages are passed among this and the libraries.
##   

##   951219.19
##	Lost ftp connections now die with a bit more grace.
##
##   951121.18
##	Add -nnab.
##      Brought the "usage" string in line with reality.
##
##   951114.17
##      Added -head.
##	Added -update/-refresh/-IfNewerThan. If any URL was not pulled
##	because it was not out of date, an exit value of 2 is returned.
##
##   951031.16
##	Added -timeout. Cleaned up (a bit) the exit value. Now exits
##	with 1 if all URLs had some error (timeout exits immediately with
##	code 3, though. This is subject to change). Exits with 0 if any
##	URL was brought over safely.
##
##   951017.15
##     Neat -pf, -postfile idea from Lorrie Cranor
##     (http://www.ccrc.wustl.edu/~lorracks/)
##
##   950912.14
##     Sigh, fixed a typo.
##
##   950911.13
##     Added Basic Authorization support for http. See "PASSWORDS AND STUFF"
##     in the documentation.
##
##   950911.12
##     Implemented a most-excellent suggestion by Anthony D'Atri
##     (aad@nwnet.net), to be able to automatically grab to a local file of
##     the same name as the URL. See the '-nab' flag.
##
##   950706.11
##     Quelled small -w warning (thanks: Lars Rasmussen <gnort@daimi.aau.dk>)
##
##   950630.10
##     Steve Campbell to the rescue again. FTP now works when supplied
##     with a userid & password (eg ftp://user:pass@foo.bar.com/index.txt).
##
##   950623.9
##     Incorporated changes from Steve Campbell (steven_campbell@uk.ibm.com)
##     so that the ftp will work when no password is required of a user.
##
##   950530.8
##     Minor changes:
##     Eliminate read-size warning message when size unknown.
##     Pseudo-debug/warning messages at the end of debug_read now go to
##     stderr. Some better error handling when trying to contact systems
##     that aren't really set up for ftp. Fixed a bug concerning FTP access
##     to a root directory. Added proxy documentation at head of file.
##
##   950426.6,7
##     Complete Overhaul:
##     Renamed from httpget. Added ftp support (very sketchy at the moment).
##     Redid to work with new 'www.pl' library; chucked 'Www.pl' library.
##     More or less new and/or improved in many ways, but probably introduced
##     a few bugs along the way.
##
##   941227.5
##     Added follow stuff (with -nofollow, etc.)
##     Added -updateme. Cool!
##     Some general tidying up.
##
##   941107.4
##     Allowed for ^M ending a header line... PCs give those kind of headers.
##
##   940820.3
##     First sorta'clean net release.
##
##

##
##>
##
## Fetch http and/or ftp URL(s) given on the command line and spit to
## STDOUT.
##
## Options include:
##  -V, -version
##	Print version information; exit.
##
##  -p, -post
##	If the URL looks like a reply to a form (i.e. has a '?' in it),
##	the request is POST'ed instead of GET'ed.
##
##  -head
##	Gets the header only (for HTTP). This might include such useful
##	things as 'Last-modified' and 'Content-length' fields
##	(a lack of a 'Last-modified' might be a good indication that it's
##	a CGI).
##
##      The "-head" option implies "-nostrip", but does *not* imply,
##      for example "-nofollow".
##
##
##  -pf, -postfile
##	The item after the '?' is taken as a local filename, and the contents
##	are POST'ed as with -post
##
##  -nab, -f, -file
##      Rather than spit the URL(s) to standard output, unconditionally
##      dump to a file (or files) whose name is that as used in the URL,
##      sans path. I like '-nab', but supply '-file' as well since that's
##      what was originally suggested. Also see '-update' below for the
## 	only-if-changed version.
##
##  -nnab
##      Like -nab, but in addtion to dumping to a file, dump to stdout as well.
##      Sort of like the 'tee' command.
##
##  -update, -refresh
##	Do the same thing as -nab, etc., but does not bother pulling the
##	URL if it older than the localfile. Only applies to HTTP.
##	Uses the HTTP "If-Modified-Since" field. If the URL was not modified
##	(and hence not changed), the return value is '2'.
##
##  -IfNewerThan FILE
##  -int FILE
##	Only pulls URLs if they are newer than the date the local FILE was
##	last written.
##
##  -q, -quiet
##	Suppresses all non-essential informational messages.
##
##  -nf, -nofollow
##	Normally, a "this URL has moved" HTTP response is automatically
##	followed. Not done with -nofollow.
##
##  -nr, -noretry
##	Normally, an HTTP proxy response of "can't find host" is retried
##	up to three times, to give the remote hostname lookup time to
##	come back with an answer. This suppresses the retries. This is the
##	same as '-retry 0'.
##
##  -r#, -retry#, -r #, -retry #
##	Sets the number of times to retry. Default 3.
##
##  -ns, -nostrip
##	For HTTP items (including other items going through an HTTP proxy),
##	the HTTP response header is printed rather than stripped as default.
##
##  -np, -noproxy
##	A proxy is not used, even if defined for the protocol.
##
##  -h, -help
##	Show a usage message and exit.
##
##  -d, -debug
##	Show some debugging messages.
##
##  -updateme
## 	The special and rather cool flag "-updateme" will see if webget has
## 	been updated since you got your version, and prepare a local
## 	version of the new version for you to use. Keep updated! (although
## 	you can always ask to be put on the ping list to be notified when
## 	there's a new version -- see the author's perl web page).
##
##  -timeout TIMESPAN
##  -to TIMESPAN
##	Time out if a connection can not be made within the specified time
##      period. TIMESPAN is normally in seconds, although a 'm' or 'h' may
##	be appended to indicate minutes and hours. "-to 1.5m" would timeout
##	after 90 seconds.
##	
##	(At least for now), a timeout causes immediate program death (with
##	exit value 3).  For some reason, the alarm doesn't always cause a
##	waiting read or connect to abort, so I just die immediately.. /-:
##
##	I might consider adding an "entire fetch" timeout, if someone
##	wants it.
##
## PASSWORDS AND SUCH
##
##  You can use webget to do FTP fetches from non-Anonymous systems and
##  accounts. Just put the required username and password into the URL,
##  as with
##	webget 'ftp:/user:password@ftp.somesite.com/pub/pix/babe.gif
##                   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
##  Note the user:password is separated from the hostname by a '@'.
##
##  You can use the same kind of thing with HTTP, and if so it will provide
##  what's know as Basic Authorization. This is >weak< authorization.  It
##  also provides >zero< security -- I wouldn't be sending any credit-card
##  numbers this way (unless you send them 'round my way :-). It seems to
##  be used most by providers of free stuff where they want to make some
##  attempt to limit access to "known users".
##
## PROXY STUFF
##
##  If you need to go through a gateway to get out to the whole internet,
##  you can use a proxy if one's been set up on the gateway. This is done
##  by setting the "http_proxy" environmental variable to point to the
##  proxy server. Other variables are used for other target protocols....
##  "gopher_proxy", "ftp_proxy", "wais_proxy", etc.
##
##  For example, I have the following in my ".login" file (for use with csh):
##
##       setenv http_proxy http://local.gateway.machine:8080/
##
##  This is to indicate that any http URL should go to local.gateway.machine
##  (port 8080) via HTTP.  Additionally, I have
##
##       setenv gopher_proxy "$http_proxy"
##       setenv wais_proxy   "$http_proxy"
##       setenv ftp_proxy    "$http_proxy"
##
##  This means that any gopher, wais, or ftp URL should also go to the
##  same place, also via HTTP. This allows webget to get, for example,
##  GOPHER URLs even though it doesn't support GOPHER itself. It uses HTTP
##  to talk to the proxy, which then uses GOPHER to talk to the destination.
##
##  Finally, if there are sites inside your gateway that you would like to
##  connect to, you can list them in the "no_proxy" variable. This will allow
##  you to connect to them directly and skip going through the proxy:
##
##       setenv no_proxy     "www.this,www.that,www.other"
##
##  I (jfriedl@omron.co.jp) have little personal experience with proxies
##  except what I deal with here at Omron, so if this is not representative
##  of your situation, please let me know.
##
## RETURN VALUE
##  The value returned to the system by webget is rather screwed up because
##  I didn't think about dealing with it until things were already
##  complicated. Since there can be more than one URL on the command line,
##  it's hard to decide what to return when one times out, another is fetched,
##  another doesn't need to be fetched, and a fourth isn't found.
##
##  So, here's the current status:
##   
##	Upon any timeout (via the -timeout arg), webget immediately
##	returns 3. End of story. Otherwise....
##
##	If any URL was fetched with a date limit (i.e. via
##	'-update/-refresh/-IfNewerThan' and was found to not have changed,
##	2 is returned. Otherwise....
##
##	If any URL was successfully fetched, 0 is returned. Otherwise...
##
##	If there were any errors, 1 is returned. Otherwise...
##
##	Must have been an info-only or do-nothing instance. 0 is returned.
##
##  Phew. Hopefully useful to someone.

Options are from among:
  -V, -version    Print version information; exit.
  -p, -post       If URL looks like a form reply, does POST instead of GET.
  -pf, -postfile  Like -post, but takes everything after ? to be a filename.
  -q, -quiet      All non-essential informational messages are suppressed.
  -nf, -nofollow  Don't follow "this document has moved" replies.
  -nr, -noretry   Doesn't retry a failed hostname lookup (same as -retry 0)
  -r #, -retry #  Sets failed-hostname-lookup-retry to # (default $retry)
  -np, -noproxy   Uses no proxy, even if one defined for the protocol.
  -ns, -nostrip   The HTTP header, normally elided, is printed.
  -head           gets item header only (implies -ns)
  -nab, -file     Dumps output to file whose name taken from URL, minus path
  -nnab           Like -nab, but *also* dumps to stdout.
  -update         HTTP only. Like -nab, but only if the page has been modified.
  -h, -help       Prints this message.
  -IfNewerThan F  HTTP only. Only brings page if it is newer than named file.
  -timeout T      Fail if a connection can't be made in the specified time.

  -updateme       Pull the latest version of $base from
