Hello Thom,
I am considering using HTTP POST as a fall-back method,
so I have more question:

How do you handle http proxy setting ?
What do you do if the network is done when the cronjob run
(sunday 6h47 local time) ?

I have rewritten the CGI to mail the file to localhost instead
(through /usr/lib/sendmail)

Cheers,
Bill.
