How to Use GetWeb
SATELLIFE's GetWeb server allows you to request the text content of World Wide Web pages through e-mail. To get information from a particular World Wide Web page such as the SATELLIFE's Home Page, you would:
1. Compose a new e-mail message to the following address: getweb@usa.healthnet.org
2. Leave the subject line blank. In the body of the message, type the command get followed by the URL of the Web page you want to retrieve.
3. If your mailer software automatically inserts unwanted text (a signature, for example) at the beginning or end of your message, an error will occur. You can prevent this by enclosing your commands in a begin and end block as shown below. The GetWeb server ignores any text that appears before or after the block.
4. Your message will look like the following:
Sample Message
To :getweb@usa.healthnet.org
Cc :
Attchmnt:
Subject :
----- Message Text -----
begin
get http://www.healthnet.org/index2.php
end
Tip: avoid typing errors
Make sure not to make any typing errors in the URL or your message will not be processed. Pay special attention to preserve the case of all letters. Remember to include the http:// component of the URL when you enter in the get command.
