GetHT - The Free Hinduism Today Digital Edition Downloader -Summary The nice people at Hinduism Today have recently begun freely distributing their magazine in pdf format, so that anybody may read a copy for free. However, rather than provide links to the PDF files on their website, they ask users to download their software which then downloads and opens the PDFs itself. This unfortunately means those who are not using a Mac or Windows PC are unable to download the new issues. This program is written to change all that. -License GetHT is released under the GPL, see the file COPYING for details. Basically this means that you are free to study the program, modify it, and redistribute it however you see fit, provided you extend the same freedom to others by releasing derivatives with the same license. -Dependancies libxml2 2.0.0+ Compiled with zlib support libcurl 7.7.2+ -Install For details on how to install GetHT see the INSTALL file. -Proxy Support GetHT supports HTTP, SOCKS4 & SOCKS5 proxys (though they haven't been thoroughly tested - let me know if there are any problems). Environmental variables (e.g. http_proxy) are used, but may be overridden with the following lines in the config.ini file. Any lines which are not needed (for example the authentication lines) should just be omitted. The format of the options is: proxy_type (http, socks4 or socks5) proxy_address
proxy_port proxy_auth (none, basic, digest or ntlm) proxy_user proxy_pass -Bugs / Problems This software is very new, so there will undoubtedly be some bugs lingering, or parts of the program which don't work as expected.
