Download videos from various Flash-based video hosting sites, without
having to use the Flash player. Handy for saving videos for watching
offline, and means you don't have to keep upgrading Flash for sites
that insist on a newer version of the player.

Telegraph ...), BBC (news, etc), Metacafe, 5min, Google, fliqz,
nicovideo, vimeo, Blip, Break, Collegehumor, Muzu, Sevenload,
Megavideo, Wat.tv. Also includes a 'generic' method which works on
many other sites.
gnome-user-share is a small package that binds together various free
software projects to bring easy to use user-level file sharing to the
masses.
The program is meant to run in the background when the user is logged
in, and when file sharing is enabled a webdav server is started that
shares the $HOME/Public folder. The share is then published to all
computers on the local network using mDNS/bonjour, so that it shows
up in the Network location in Gnome.

IMDbPY is a Python package useful to retrieve and manage the data of the IMDb
movie database.
IMDbPY aims to provide an easy way to access the IMDb's database using a Python
script. Platform-independent and written in pure Python, it's theoretically
independent from the data source (since IMDb provides two or three different
interfaces to their database). IMDbPY is mainly intended for programmers and
developers who want to build their Python programs using the IMDbPY package, but
some example scripts - useful for simple users - are included.
pecl-http extension aims to provide a convenient and
powerful set of functionality for one of PHPs major
applications. It eases handling of HTTP URLs, dates,
redirects, headers and messages, provides means for
negotiation of clients preferred language and charset,
as well as a convenient way to send any arbitrary data
with caching and resuming capabilities. It provides
powerful request functionality too.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This the deprecated version 1 branch of this package
as the current 2.x branch is described as
"completely incompatible to previous version."
Please upgrade to www/pecl-http as soon as possible!

Sphinx is a full-text search engine, distributed under GPL version
2. Commercial license is also available for embedded use.
Generally, it's a standalone search engine, meant to provide fast,
size-efficient and relevant fulltext search functions to other
applications. Sphinx was specially designed to integrate well with SQL
databases and scripting languages. Currently built-in data sources
support fetching data either via direct connection to MySQL, or from
an XML pipe.
As for the name, Sphinx is an acronym which is officially decoded as
SQL Phrase Index.
Kwiki is perhaps the simplest, most modular and easy to extend wiki. A wiki
allows users to freely create and edit web pages in any web browser. Kwiki
is Open Source Software and is available on CPAN.
The overall design goal of CGI::Kwiki is simplicity and extensibility.
Even so, Kwiki will have some killer built in features not available in
most wikis:
* KwikiSlideShow
* KwikiBlog
* KwikiSisters
* KwikiHotKeys
* KwikiFit
* KwikiPod
* KwikiPrivacy
Each feature is implemented as a separate plugin class. This keeps things
simple and extensible.
This module has been written to provide a simple and secure
manner by which to handle files uploaded in multipart/form-data
requests through a web browser. The primary advantage which this
module offers over existing modules is the single interface
which it provides for the most often required information
regarding files uploaded in this manner.
This module builds upon primarily the CGI and File::MMagic
modules and offers some tidy and succinct methods for the
handling of files uploaded via multipart/form-data requests.
"CGI::Session" is Perl5 library that provides an easy persistent session
management system across HTTP requests. Session persistence is a very
important issue in web applications. Shopping carts, user-recognition
features, login and authentication methods and etc. all require
persistent session management mechanism, which is both secure and
reliable. "CGI::Session" provides with just that. You can read the whole
documentation as a tutorial on session management. But if you are
already familiar with "CGI::Session" go to the methods section for the
list of all the methods available.
HTML::TagParser is a pure Perl implementaion for parsing HTML files.
This module provides some methods like DOM. This module is not strict
about XHTML format because many of HTML pages are not strict. You know,
many pages use <br> elemtents instead of <br/> and have <p> elements
which are not closed.
This module natively understands a character set of document by reading
its meta element.
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=Shift_JIS">
The parsed document's encoding is converted as this class's fixed
internal encoding "UTF-8".
HTTPD-User-Manage is set of Perl modules for managing access control
with the Apache, NCSA httpd, CERN and Netscape servers (and maybe some
others).
You can install this program as a CGI script to allow remote users to
change their Web access passwords. Web administrators can use it to
remotely add, edit and delete users and their groups. You can also use
it from the command line as a nice all-in-one interface to access
control databases based on text files, DBM files, and SQL databases.
