The Archie module finds files available via anonymous ftp
|
|
by making requests to an Archie server. The package
|
|
communicates with the Archie server via the Prospero
|
|
protocol, which is layered on the Asynchronous Reliable
|
|
Delivery Protocol, which is layered on UDP.
|
|
|
|
The usual entry point is Archie::archie_request, which
|
|
takes arguments similar to the Unix archie command-line
|
|
client, and returns an array of hash references which
|
|
point to the returned data.
|
|
|
|
The routine Archie::archie_cancel cancels the request on
|
|
the server; this stops the server from sending packets to
|
|
a canceled client process.
|

This release is $Revision: 1.5 $.
