HTTP Replicator 4.0alpha1 (Default branch)
Image HTTP Replicator is a general purpose caching proxy server. It reduces bandwidth by merging concurrent downloads and building a local "replicated" file hierarchy, similar to wget -r. The cache is also accessible through a Web interface. License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes:
This version was rewritten from scratch. This version breaks with Python's built-in asyncore framework and replaces it with a much more flexible scheduler based on Python generators. To the user, the new flexibility shows in a long list of new features, such as server-side download resuming, FTP support, bandwidth shaping, and IPv6 support. Known issues have been solved, such as the frozen download problem and the race condition that prevented joining of simultaneously started downloads. Most of the old functionality is unchanged, except for cache browsing.Image

PHTTPGET(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 					       PHTTPGET(8)

NAME

     phttpget -- retrieve multiple files via pipelined HTTP

SYNOPSIS

     phttpget server file ...

DESCRIPTION

     The phttpget utility is a minimalist pipelined HTTP client, which is used to retrieve multiple files from one server, and saves the down-
     loaded files in the current working directory, using the last portion of their download path as file names.

     By making several "in flight" HTTP requests, it can dramatically increase performance when a large number of small files need to be down-
     loaded.

     The freebsd-update(8) and portnap(8) tools use phttpget to download binary patch files.

ENVIRONMENT

     HTTP_PROXY       URL of the proxy to use for HTTP requests.

     HTTP_PROXY_AUTH  Authorization parameters for the HTTP proxy.

     HTTP_USER_AGENT  The User-Agent string to use for HTTP requests.  The default is ``phttpget/0.1''.

     HTTP_TIMEOUT     Timeout for HTTP request in seconds.

SEE ALSO

     fetch(1), freebsd-update(8), portsnap(8)

AUTHORS

     The phttpget utility was written by Colin Percival <cperciva@FreeBSD.org> for use with portsnap(8) and later with freebsd-update(8).  This
     manual page was written by Xin LI <delphij@FreeBSD.org>.
