This recipe demonstrates how to download a map- or dig-config file
and write it to stdout using ftimes.sourceforge.net as the Integrity
Server.  This recipe assumes that 1) all local commands are in the
search path and will be executed from a Bourne shell; 2) the local
operating system is a supported flavor of UNIX or NT; and 3) the
local host can establish a connection to ftimes.sourceforge.net
over HTTP.

1. Create the following get-config file, and name it get.cfg.  The
   following command allows you to automatically create this file.

   sed -e '1,/^--- get.cfg ---$/d; /^--- get.cfg ---$/,$d' ftimes-get-write-cfg-to-stdout.txt > get.cfg

--- get.cfg ---
BaseName=T001_HELP_0001_1
GetAndExec=N
URLGetURL=http://ftimes.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/nph-ftimes.cgi
URLUsername=T001_HELP_0001_1
URLPassword=triage
URLAuthType=basic
URLGetRequest=MapConfig
--- get.cfg ---

   Note: If you wish to download a dig-config file instead of a
   map-config file, set URLGetRequest to 'DigConfig'.

2. Execute ftimes using the provided command.  Output should be
   comparable to that depicted below.  Note that stdout and stderr
   are coupled in the output stream.  They may be decoupled using
   standard IO redirection techniques.

   ftimes --getmode get.cfg

--- output ---

3. The following command will extract this recipe to a script file
   suitable for execution.

   sed -e '1,/^--- script ---$/d; /^--- script ---$/,$d' ftimes-get-write-cfg-to-stdout.txt > ftimes-get-write-cfg-to-stdout.sh

--- script ---
#!/bin/sh
(
  echo "BaseName=T001_HELP_0001_1"
  echo "GetAndExec=N"
  echo "URLGetURL=http://ftimes.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/nph-ftimes.cgi"
  echo "URLUsername=T001_HELP_0001_1"
  echo "URLPassword=triage"
  echo "URLAuthType=basic"
  echo "URLGetRequest=MapConfig"
) | ftimes --getmode -
