Available now at http://govt.us.oracle.com/, under the downloadable utilities link... A cartridge or cgi-bin program for handling blobs on the web, using database authentication on the web, and more.

This is for the Oracle WebServer.

Have you ever wanted to.....

Use Database Authentication over the web? (as opposed to storing usernames and passwords in clear text in a plain OS file). The username/password you supply on the basic authentication screen is used to log you in. The DCD information is used only to find the oracle_home, oracle_sid, connect_string, and error logging directory. The username and password are ignored.

Use the Database Authentication to protect your regular OS files as well as database data?

Logoff (de-authenticate) yourself without exiting the browser and restarting it. (Useful during development when you want to test many accounts to see the different reactions each user will get).

Allow your users to dynamically create their account and then change their passwords without having to rewrite a configuration file or 'bounce' the web listener?

Upload files from your client to the file system or directly into long raw column in the database?

Download files from your database tables to your client?

Compress files as they are downloaded either from the file system or from your database. Powerpoint files are compressed 50% or more, Word Documents 60% or more...

Use an <ORACLE> tag to provide an easy way to add a little bit of dynamic content to your existing static pages?

Have something equivalent to Timed statistics to do performance tuning/tracking for your web applications?

Have all of the above functionality in one integrated Oracle Web Server cartridge? Or even in a CGI-BIN program (for use with WS 1.x or 2.0.1 or before to support database authentication).

Well, then look no further..... You are in luck.

We have developed a complete web agent replacement that performs all of the above.

We have compiled binaries for the following platforms:

You can always download the source code and compile it yourself as well.
