Hi Phil,
I'm integrating virus scanning into a file upload system. I use
ClamAV, and it's simple to do with an external action:
#!/bin/sh
cat $file | /usr/local/bin/clamdscan -
But it's not terribly efficient, since I have to:
*write the variable containing the upload to the file system,
typically /tmp/<@USERREFERENCE>
*have witango spawn a process to execute clamdscan with the
environment variable $file=/tmp/<@USERREFERENCE>
In version 6, I'm hoping that you're implementing external sockets so
I could do something similar to this perl interface:
http://search.cpan.org/dist/ClamAV-Client/lib/ClamAV/Client.pm
I picture that we would instantiate the socket, analagous to Object
instances or DOM variables, and then use the socket.
<@ASSIGN NAME="scanner" SCOPE="instance" VALUE="<@SOCKET PORT='3310'
HOST='127.0.0.1'>">
....
<@ASSIGN SCOPE="method" NAME="result" VALUE="<<@STREAM
SOCKET='@@instance$scanner' VALUE='@@method$file'>">
Where we have a new tag to create a socket variable, and another tag
to stream IO to the socket.
Thanks.
Bill
