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 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
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: -- B.
