As for the demo page

As for the demo page

[Cheryl Homiak]

Earlier I had successfully downloaded Little lord Fauntleroy, which has its
download links right on the demo page. I just tried to download the dumas book,
which requires one to enter on the title and then choose and download the file;
I couldn't do it either. And as I've said, I've tried downloading with the
NO_REFERER  lines set both to TRUE and FALSE.

Cheryl and others,

At least for the demo page, lynx will fetch books from Bookshare if
NO_REFERER_HEADER is set to FALSE and REFERER_WITH_QUERY is set to
PARTIAL.  If REFERER_WITH_QUERY is set to DROP or anything else, then lynx
will not send the referring url to the download script since it contains
query data (ie, a ? followed by parameters).  NO_FILE_REFERER deals with
refers from FILE: urls (ie, pages on your local hard drive, rather than
the Internet) and is not relevant.

Now that I look at things, I am not sure that any special tool is needed
to unpack the files under Linux.  I downloaded a Daisy file, and it sent a
file with a .bks extension, but it was actually a zip file.  As far as I
know, there is not a Daisy reader for Linux, but there is no good reason
for that (other than none of us having taken the time to develop one).  I
would assume that nfbtrans can back-translate .brf files.

In any case, this all should be documented on Bookshare if it isn't
already, and feel free to pass any of this on, for those of you
corresponding with Bookshare folks (I do not have their e-mail addresses
off-hand and am too lazy to look them up).

Ok, so now ia have a third line here to think about; this one was never even
mentioned before!
What about the NO_REFERRER_HEADERS ONE; DOES THAT SETTING MATTER?
wELL, FROM WHAT THE WEBSITE SAID, THE DAISY AND BRF FILES ARE ENCRYPTED; THAT'S
WHY I THOUGHT THE "UNPACK TOOL" WAS NEEDED.

If they are encrypted, then an unpack tool will be needed.

NO_REFERER_HEADERS does matter; it must be set to FALSE; otherwise no
referer headers will be sent regardless of other referer settings.

sorry, I made an error in asking my question.
Does NO_REFERER_file need a particular setting?
Thanks.

It did not make any difference for me whether it was set to TRUE or FALSE.

In terms of a DAISY Reader for Linux, the Victor Player, a hardware daisy book machine, is a JAVA application that runs under embedded Linux.  So, you might urge Visuaide to make a version of Victor Soft for Linux.
