I was trying to download a governmental DB..but of course you had to login so after several hours I came up with this;
NOTE: This is being done an a windows machine.
#!c:\\perl\\bin
use strict;
use WWW::Mechanize;
use HTTP::Cookies;
my $outfile = "out.htm";
my $url = "ENTER_YOUR_URL_TO_LOGIN";
my $username = 'ENTER_YOUR_USERNAME';
my $password = 'ENTER_YOUR_PASSWORD';
my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new();
#Debug
#$mech->add_handler("request_send", sub { shift->dump; return });
#$mech->add_handler("response_done", sub { shift->dump; return });
#END Debug
$mech->cookie_jar(HTTP::Cookies->new());
$mech->get($url);
$mech->form_name('ENTER_NAME_OF_FORM');
$mech->set_visible( $username, $password ) ;
$mech->click('ENTER_BUTTON_NAME');
my $output_page = $mech->content();
my $download = 'ENTER_URL_OF_FILE_TO_DOWNLOAD';
$mech->get($download);
if ( ! open( FOUT, ">download.zip" ) ) {
die( "Could not create file: $!" );
}
binmode( FOUT ); # required for Windows
print( FOUT $mech->response->content() );
close( FOUT );
I could never find good documentation on WWW:Mechanize, I had to piece different examples together to get this to work. So hopefully this will save another poor soul a couple hours worth of work.
I have written a script to download and install the needed files for app_rpt and the AllStarLink system. This is working on AllStar Node # 27272.
You must first have a working sound environment which is out of the scope of this document. My goal was to be able to install on an ALIX 3d2 board and use the DMK URI. I started off with a CentOS CF image, but had strange audio issues that I attributed to the bloated CentOS producing to many processing cycles. This is when I began working on building and installing app_rpt on a Debian derived OS called Voyage Linux. This “should” work on any Debian kernel after 2.6.28.

#End Voyage Linux Specific
apt-get update
apt-get install dialog apt-utils
apt-get upgrade
#Optional (I like to use it because we are constricted to 2G on the CF cards)
apt-get autoremove
#End Optional
You can now download and run the install script.

This week has been crazy on VHF, every morning up until about 11AM CST we have been getting some strange propagation. Here is a map from this morning showing propagation paths.
