Package: woof
Version: 20091227-2

woof has no support for streams, it can only send (and receive) files, so 
you cannot use woof with pipes. For example, it is not possible:

  tail -f /var/log/syslog | woof
  
  tar cvzf - $(find . -name "*.png") | openssl bf -e -k wambam | woof

I have asked the original woof author Simon Budig <si...@budig.de> to add
stream support to woof, but he is not interested in such a feature.

Therefore I have written woos (web offer one stream), which is a woof
clone written in perl and with streaming support:

http://fex.rus.uni-stuttgart.de/fstools/woos.html

With woos you can do:
  
  tail -f /var/log/syslog | woos
  
  tar cvzf - $(find . -name "*.png") | openssl bf -e -k wambam | woos

  woos this.file other.file and/a/directory/too

woos also offers an upload form for receiving data.
woos also has a client mode, which automatically unpacks a tar stream.

I have already contacted the woof Debian maintainers and they asked me to
send an official feature request as bug report. So, here we are :-)

I am not using Debian, but Ubuntu.
