• Web download + upload for Mystic (scripts available)

    From Goose@21:1/177 to All on Fri Nov 6 00:31:20 2026
    Hi all,

    a few of you asked about the web terminal on my board, so here is the
    next bit I hacked together. Files can now go in and out through the
    browser, no Zmodem fiddling.

    When you pick W for download, Mystic gives you a link and the file
    just lands in your browser. When you pick U for upload, you get a link
    to a small drag and drop page that looks like the BBS. Drop your file
    there and Mystic takes over like always. The links only work once and
    run out after about 15 minutes, max 20 MB.

    If you want to play with it on your own Mystic, I put the scripts and
    a short how-to into "GooseNet Software" on bbs.g00r00.com. Start with webterm-howto.zip, then mystic-webdl-howto.zip and
    mystic-webul-howto.zip.

    Not perfect, but it works fine here. Feedback welcome.

    I've got a protocol replacement for other than Mystic (plus works with mystic) as well. It works with any local web server and any bbs that can pass a user name. It supplies a link for downloads and can use any standard protocol for uploads (I didn't bother writing a web server side, so that would be tricky, this is just a protocol replacement). https://www.github.com/martykazmaier/Webdownload
