Hi guys,

Please see the file http://www.AerospaceSoftware.com/willowbark.tar.gz for 
details, file willowbark.cgi.

# WillowBark Virus Scanner Driver
# Copyright (c) Aerospace Software Ltd., GPL, 2004.
# #207, 908 - 17th Ave., SW, Calgary, AB, T2T 0A3, Canada.
# http://www.AerospaceSoftware.com
# Refer www.gnu.org for the General Public License (GPL).
#
# The whole extended family of MS operating systems is quite
# insecure and subject to invasion by malicious programs.  While use
# of mail server based virus scanners and firewalls will keep systems 
# somewhat safe, any web browser presents a large security hole in the
# system via the HTTP protocol on port 80.
#
# This simple CGI script launches the ClamAV virus scanner to test a file
# when it is downloaded using the HTTP protocol.  The Squid and SquidGuard
# proxy server system redirects HTTP requests for well known problem MS
# file types to this script.  It downloads the file to the proxy server,
# scans it with ClamAV and then forwards the clean file to the browser. A
# dirty file is deleted and the user is informed of the event.
#
# Use it in conjunction with Apache, Squid, SquidGuard, ClamAV and Perl.
# Installation of this system is quite an adventure.  Start by getting
# Apache and Squid to work, then add SquidGuard and ClamAV to the broth,
# stir, simmer till well cooked, add a pinch of WillowBark, serve
# while hot...
#
# You can see that the problem is not this tiny script, it is all the
# other stuff required to make it work. This is just a tiny cog in a
# very large machine.
#
# Inspired by the GPL script Viralator, by Duncan Hall at loddington.com.
# Forgive me Duncan, but your script just didn't work for me, due
# to the use of pop-ups - all self respecting browsers block them.
# The resulting head-ache led me to adopt the new name and make a much 
# simpler script - well, at least it was simpler initially.
# About 30 lines of code were re-used from Viralator, thank you Duncan.
#

Please contact me directly if you require more information on this little 
project.
