Well, there are a couple of things you might be asking for, and both are
pretty easy.
If you would like access to files on the server, you can simply configure
weblet to serve up any file in the filesystem, and download anything you're
interested with a web browser or something like http-get.
If you want some of the status information made available via the cgi
scripts, you can pretty easily modify the scripts to return NO HTML
formatting. Simply change the mime-type returned by the cgi-script to
text/plain instead of text/html, and remove the HTML formatting from the cgi
script. You can either replace the existing cgi scripts with your new
versions, or give them a different name so you can access either version.
As an example, here is the original viewmasq cgi script:
#!/bin/sh
cat <<- /HTML-DATA
Content-type: text/html
<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>${0##*/}</TITLE></HEAD>
<BODY background="/images/lrpbkg.gif">
<H1>LRP Firewall</H1>
<H2>Masqueraded and Other Connections</H2>
<H3>$(date)</H3>
<H3>Masqueraded Connections:</H3>
<PRE>
$(/bin/netstat -Mn)
</PRE>
<H3>Other Connections:</H3>
<PRE>
$(/bin/netstat -n)
</PRE>
</BODY></HTML>
/HTML-DATA
To convert the entire thing to plain text, simply strip the HTML tags out,
and change the content-type header:
#!/bin/sh
cat <<- /HTML-DATA
Content-type: text/plain
$(date)
Masqueraded Connections:
$(/bin/netstat -Mn)
Other Connections:
$(/bin/netstat -n)
/HTML-DATA
Of course, you can provide text seperators, whitespace, and other formatting
as required if you need to easily parse the data on the far end.
