How to use the GetWeb Mail server
==================================

To request a document from the World Wide Web, send a message to
getweb@lanic.utexas.edu with the body containing one or more requests
like:

GET url

Where url is the URL of the document you request. If the message
contains more than one request, separate each request with a blank
line.

Here is a message which would fetch the LANIC home page:

GET http://lanic.utexas.edu/

After recieving the above message, the GetWeb server would format the
LANIC home page as human-readable plain-text and send it to you.

You can enclose your commands in a begin/end block, or comment out
lines with '#':

This preamble will not be processed...
begin
GET http://lanic.utexas.edu/
# ...neither will this comment
end
...and neither will this signature.

Each hypertext link is represented by a number in brackets. Suppose
you get a message like this from a GetWeb server:

--------------------------------------------------------------------

If you are interested in Latin American studies and curious about
World-Wide Web services, you may take a look at the following documents:

* UT Latin American Network Information Center[1]
* The World-Wide Web Initiative[2]
* World-Wide Web Frequently Asked Questions[3]

** References from this document **
[1] http://lanic.utexas.edu/
[2] http://www.w3.org/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html
[3] http://www.boutell.com/faq/

--------------------------------------------------------------------

To get more information about The World-Wide Web Initiative, you
would look up link 2 at the bottom of the message to find out the URL
is http://www.w3.org/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html. You would then
send a message to the GetWeb server:

GET http://www.w3.org/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html

Follow the links below for more help.

How can I:

* fill out HTML Forms?[1]
* break a long command between multiple lines?[2]
* follow chains of linked documents with a single command?[3]
* request raw HTML source rather than formatted text?[4]
* configure how documents are delivered?[5]
* use Agora commands?[6]
* send username and password to the Web server?[7]
* decode binary files?[8]
* know my quotas limit?[9]

Introduction

WebMail is a mail-based server to allow networkers who have only email access to retrieve documents from the WorldWideWeb. Please do not use this service if you already have online access to the Web: keep the bandwidth clear for those who do not yet have full access.

This server was started at the suggestion of some of the attendees at the Developing Countries' Workshop at Stanford before INET'93. I am grateful to the many students there who contributed to its genesis.

This service should not be confused with the recent project of the OSF to develop a tighter binding between Web browsers and email systems, which they have unfortunately also called WebMail.

How to use this server

This is an email-based server. It allows the retrieval by electronic mail of text files from the WorldWideWeb. It does not offer any other facilities, and in particular it is not a gateway to Usenet News, and cannot be used to retrieve graphics files.

To request a document, send a one-line email message to

     webmail@www.ucc.ie

containing the command in the text body:

     SEND url

where url is the Uniform Resource Locator of the document you wish to retrieve. For example, to retrieve this document, send the line

     SEND http://www.ucc.ie/webmail/webmail.html

This command retrieves a formatted version of the file. To retrieve the HTML source text from which is was generated, use the GET or GO commands in the same way.

A Uniform Resource Locator is the address of a file in the Web. The structure of a URL is:

http:

//

www.thomson.com:80/

catalog/

order.html

optionally followed by one of
?searchterm
#location

The `method' is one of...
http:
gopher:
ftp:
telnet:
mailto:
news:

There must be an Internet server hostname or IP address (with optional port number), or an Email address, or a Newsgroup name.

Note: the mailto: and news: have no double slash.

There may be a path (directory or folder names)

There is usually a filename and filetype

Options may follow:
? (searching) means the URL must be a script;
using a # location implies target label exists (see <a>).

Form submission uses the ? after the file(script)name, but instead of a single searchword, fields are separated by &s, and are composed of the fieldname, an = sign and the field value according to MIME type x-www-urlencoded (spaces replaced by plus signs, all non-alphanumerics replaced by %-escaped two-byte hexadecimal), eg

    
http://foo.bar.com/blort?name=Foo+O%27Bar&age=37&sex=M

Please note that WebMail does not handle NEWS or FTP access: the processing capacity and network bandwidth available make it impossible to support these protocols. For reasons which should be obvious, TELNET and MAILTO are also not possible.

Return format

In all cases, the output may be UUencoded if it contains non-printing (non-ASCII) characters. These are forbidden in many email systems as they stand, so they are UUencoded to prevent the file being garbled unintentionally. To decode the file, you need a copy of the UUDECODE program, which is in the public domain and should be available from your network provider or computer centre.

Viewing the results

To view the HTML file, you need a browser program or an editor, preferably an SGML-conformant editor. There are details of these at http://www.ucc.ie/webstart.html

Service level

It has been necessary to impose some restrictions on the server, as it was being misused by a few thoughtless individuals.

  1. To avoid users clogging the queue, the server only handles one request per message, but an additional HELP or DOC command will be honoured.

  2. WebMail will not send binary files, executable programs, images like GIFs or JPEGs, PostScript print files, audio files, movies and compressed binary or archive files (zip, tar, gz, sea, hqx, zoo etc).

  3. WebMail cannot be used to access FTP archives. For ftp-by-mail, use the server at ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com.

  4. There is a size limit of 128Kb on all files retrieved: files larger than this cannot be returned.

  5. Commands no longer have to start in the first character position on the line, although this is recommended as good practice: extra spacing is unnecessary but will not cause an error.

  6. A request must be a single line: the command must be on the same line as the URL. If your mail editor reformats your outgoing text and inserts linebreaks when the URL is very long, either disable the reformatting or use another mailer.

  7. Do not include a signature (.sig file) in your message.

  8. Do not use your mail program's REPLY function (button or command) to send another command to WebMail. In order to prevent mail bouncing from bad addresses, the Reply-To address does not point back at the server.

  9. WebMail does not (cannot and will not) return linked files. To do so would be extremely dangerous, as some files contain 100 or more links, and the accumulated volume would be too much to handle. You must request each link you want separately.

  10. Most requests are processed within 20 minutes of receipt. When the queue gets longer than 500 messages, the response time may exceed 1 day. Please be patient, especially when the service has just been publicised in a magazine article: you were not the only person to read it!

Other commands

Apart from SEND, GO and GET, the command

     HELP

on its own will send back this file in both HTML and plain text formats.

     DOC

on its own will send back this file in PostScript.

Further help

To give you an idea of usage, we keep a list of the top ten most popular URLs visited, and a list of the top ten sites which seem to attract the most error-prone URLs or retrievals.

Please refer all problems and suggestions to webmaster@www.ucc.ie

Developing Countries' [Free Speech Online - the Blue RibbonCampaign]
Workshop at Stanford
before INET'93. I am
grateful to the many
students there who

This is an email-based server. It allows the retrieval by electronic mail

Form submission uses the ? after the file(script)name, but
instead of a single searchword, fields are separated by &s,
and are composed of the fieldname, an = sign and the field
value according to MIME type x-www-urlencoded (spaces
replaced by plus signs, all non-alphanumerics replaced by
%-escaped two-byte hexadecimal), eg

http://foo.bar.com/blort?name=Foo+O%27Bar&age=37&sex=M

Please note that WebMail does not handle NEWS or FTP access: the processing
capacity and network bandwidth available make it impossible to support
these protocols. For reasons which should be obvious, TELNET and MAILTO are
also not possible.

Return format

* The SEND command sends back a copy of the file in a formatted version
so that you can use it in an editor or wordprocessor.
* The GET command sends back a copy of the file in its raw
(HTML-encoded) state so that you can use it in a local browser.
* The old GO command does both: it send the HTML file and a copy of the
formatted version.

In all cases, the output may be UUencoded if it contains non-printing
(non-ASCII) characters. These are forbidden in many email systems as they
stand, so they are UUencoded to prevent the file being garbled
unintentionally. To decode the file, you need a copy of the UUDECODE

W3Gate - A Web Access by E-mail

W3Gate (Version 2.0) fetches documents from the World Wide and sends them
via email to the user.
You have to edit an email addressed to w3mail@gmd.de with
requests for a Web-document referenced by an URL or for help in the
body-part
of the email.

e.g.

get http://www.gmd.de/

or

help

In general W3Gate fetches Web-pages as HTML source code. You can also
convert an HTML-file to plain text, that may be formatted. The plain text
can optionally include hyperlink references from the HTML-file, in order to
follow further links.
It is also possible to konvert a text file into postscript before it is
mailed back. Images are uuencoded automatically before they are send back.
Large files can be compressed with gzip but it is recommended to uuencode a
compressed file additionally, because binary files may get damaged while
transport via mail.
Moreover many Web-Pages are password-protected. Thus you can tell W3Gate to
fetch them preserving an userid and a password in the URL:

e.g.

get http://your_user_id:your_password@your_server/

You can also fetch a Web-document combined with all inline-images attached
in a MIME-mail with Content-Type: multipart/mixed.
As further links are often interesting W3Gate can fetch the HTML-file and
all
files that are referenced by hyperlinks from the requested file.
Then W3Gate sends a MIME-mail to you with Content-Type: multipart/mixed.

The subject of the email can be omitted. The usage of a mail-command is:

get [-t | -u | -a [ -c columns]] [-img] [-ps] [-l] [-uu] [-z] [-s size] URL

If the email contains more than one get-command W3Gate processes each
command
(max. 10 lines) and sends the result of each request in a separate mail to
you.
Only one command per line is permitted. The first word in a command-line
must
be a 'get' or 'help'! The URL must start in the same line as the get
begins!!!
Files larger than 100 KB are splitted into 100K-parts. As result you get
emails with a sequence number in their Subject-field. Thus 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 2 MB or at most 100 mails per request to you.

command-options:

-t : The Web-page is formatted to plain text.

-u : The Web-page is send to you as formatted plain text preserving
all URLs occuring in anchor-tags from the HTML-Source.
The URLs are original from the hyperlinks (relative and 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 newline-character is inserted into
the plain-text. If 'columns' is less than 40 it is set to 40. If
'columns' is
greater or equal 40 and smaller than 255 or equal 255 it is set
to this value, otherwise it is set to 255.

-uu : The file you specified is uuencoded before it is mailed to you.
Remember that uuencoded files are 35 % larger. If you want
to fetch a 1 MB-file it will become ca. 1.35 MB so you will
only get the first 1 MB!

-z : the file will be compressed with UNIX-gzip. It is recommended to use
-uu in combination with -z as it produces 8-bit data.

-img : W3Gate fetches all inline-images in addition to the requested
HTML-file. The result is a MIME-mail (multipart/mixed).

-l: The referenced document and all HTML-files referenced by hyperlinks
from that document (max. 100) are fetched, too.
W3Gate produces a multipart/mixed MIME-mail.

-s size: by this option you can fix the size of emails you receive
in Kilobytes(!) to 1 K < size < 100 K.

-ps : The HTML-file/text-file is converted into postcript-format.

Some commands for example :

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

You can split Long URLs into several lines (max. 10 lines).
Therefore you must append a backslash (\) to the partial URL to indicate
that
it is continued in the next line. Multiple breaks of URLs are also
possible.

get http://www.altavista.digital.com/cgi-bin/query?pg=aq&what=\
web&fmt=.&q=Universitaet+and+Bonn+and+Informatik+and+Netzwerke&\
r=&d0=&d1=

If you append a signature to your mails propose a '-- '
(two minus and one blank) to it in a separate line to indicate
that a signature follows.
Please configure your mail-reader not to propose any character-string
before
the message. W3Gate always checks the first word in the message-body.
If the email contains incorrect commands W3Gate will send an error-mail
with a
hint to the wrong parts of the commands.
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.

How to access GetWeb =====================

Please note access to this server is logged; we cannot guarantee that your requests will remain private.

To request a document from the World Wide Web, send a message to getweb@usa.healthnet.org with the body containing one or more requests like:

GET url

Where url is the URL of the document you request. If the message contains more than one request, separate each request with a blank line.

Here is a message which would fetch the HealthNet home page:

GET http://www.healthnet.org

After receiving the above message, the GetWeb server would format the HealthNet home page as human-readable plain-text and send it to you.

A hotlist[1] of URLs which we consider especially interesting is available.

Each hypertext link is represented by a number in brackets. Suppose you get a message like this from a GetWeb server:

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Some important conferences carried by SatelLife include:

* ProMED: Program for Monitoring Emerging Diseases[1] * ProCAARE: Program for Collaboration Against AIDS[2] * E-Drug: Essential Drugs[3]

** References from this document ** [1] http://www.healthnet.org/programs/promed.html [2] http://www.healthnet.org/programs/procaare.html [3] http://www.healthnet.org/programs/edrug.html

--------------------------------------------------------------------

To get more information about ProCAARE, you would look up link 2 at the bottom of the message to find out the URL is http://www.healthnet.org/programs/procaare.html. You would then send a message to getweb@usa.healthnet.org:

GET http://www.healthnet.org/programs/procaare.html

If your mailer program insists puts extra, unwanted text at the beginning or end of your message, then you can enclose your commands in a begin/end block. You can also comment out lines with '#', so that in the following message only the 'GET http://www.healthnet.org' line will be processed:

Hello getweb@usa.healthnet.org! This preamble will not be processed by the MailBot...

begin

GET http://www.healthnet.org

# ...neither will this comment

end ...and neither will this signature:

WwwFetch E-Mail Gateway

The WwwFetch E-mail Gateway allows to fulfil e-mail queries to the WwwFetch

utility that is originally located at http://linux.netmor.com/wwwfetch/. The query results can be either sent via e-mail (MIME or uuencoded ZIP file) or

stored at anonymous ftp site (URL ftp://linux.netmor.com/wwwfetch/).

USAGE

You should send your message to wwwfmail@linux.netmor.com. Depending on the 'Subject:' field parameter, the following action is implemented: 1. 'Subject:' field contains the word 'query' -- the routine procedure is implemented 2. 'Subject:' field contains the word 'info' or 'help' -- this file is sent

back. 3. 'Subject:' field contains the word 'remove' -- your email address is removed from the distribution list.

For querying, the following options are available and should be written in the body of a message (without any brackets!):

Query: <Search Pattern> URL: <additional URLs separated by spaces> Images: [Yes/No] OS: [Dos/Win3.x or UNIX/Win95/Mac] Files: < # of files <=10 > Limit: < # of MBytes <= 1.0 > Send: [No or MIME or UUE] Split: <size in KBytes>

e x p l a n a t i o n

1. Query: A Boolean search pattern can be written here. Example: Clinton OR Dole NOT Perot

2. URL: Not more than 10 extra URLs are allowed to be added here. It is better to add one line for each URL.

3. Images: Options are 'Yes' (retrieve images) or 'No'. Default: 'No'.

4. OS: Options are 'DOS' (filenames have 3-letter extension, e.g. 'index.htm') or 'UNIX' (filenames have generally no limits on extension length).

Those using Windows3.x can select 'DOS' while Windows95 and Mac users can select 'UNIX'. Default: 'DOS'.

5. Files: Number of files to retrieve. Less or equal than 15. Default: 5.

6. Limit: Upper limit to the total size of files (in MBytes). Less or equal than 1.0 MBytes. Default: 0.5.

7. Send: Options are 'No' (do not send ZIP file via e-mail), 'MIME' (send base64-encoded ZIP file), and 'UUE' (send uuencoded ZIP file). Default: 'No'.

8. Split: Specifies the maximum size before splitting into parts (in KBytes). Only for MIME mails. Default: 10000.

ATTENTION: all parameters are case-insensitive except of 'Query:'!!!

Parameters 'Query:' or 'URL:' are mandatory, i.e., one of these two MUST be included for querying. The others are optional. Note that the order of parameters is unimportant.

QUERY EXAMPLE: ***************************************** Subject: query

Query: wwwfetch AND netmor URL: http://plasma-gate.weizmann.ac.il/ Images: Yes OS: Dos Files: 10 Limit: 1.0 Send: MIME Split: 100 *****************************************
