Hi Risto,

how about this - I try to explain to you how to set up everything and you add 
this information to  the wiki page - this way it is written from a user's view 
what might help other users :)

Get my CGI examples from here [1] and add a password file in the same directory 
but make sure it's inaccessible from web through a .htaccess file [2] and 
create a subdirectory data (this is where your diary files will be stored).

On your Freerunner you have to configure the send script (it's a really easy 
shell script), to match your username/password and CGI script on your server.

So what happens is:
You execute the send script on your moko (using the button) and it will send 
your file via curl to your server. The file will be stored in data/

The diary.kml file is a perl script as well that creates a kml. file (e.g. you 
can link it directly to google maps). To make it work you have to define .kml 
files as CGI in your webserver config [2].

What happens if someone "downloads" the diary.kml file:
The script is executed on your webserver and offers a real kml file for 
download. So all you need to do is use the link to your kml file somewhere.

Just a note on the .htaccess file. It alows you to execute scripts in current 
directory and tells your web server to execute .kml files. Access to passwd and 
data are not allowed (to protect your data).

If you need any more help or I did not express myself clearly enough just let 
me know. I hope at some point someone will understand what all this is for :)

[2] exmaple .htaccess:
Options ExecCGI
AddHandler cgi-script .kml
RewriteRule ^passwd$ - [forbidden]
RewriteRule ^data/.*$ - [forbidden]
