The whole point of the server core installation mode for Windows Server 2008 is a reduced attack surface – no Windows Explorer, no Internet Explorer, no .NET Framework. That’s all well and good but sometimes it’s useful to download a file over HTTP to a server core machine.<\/p>\n

No problem – just download a version of GNU wget<\/code> that has been compiled for Windows<\/a> and use that to download the file. It needed a couple of configuration items to get past my corporate proxy server but worked flawlessly:<\/p>\n

set http_proxy=http:\/\/proxyserver<\/em>:portnumber<\/em>
\nwget --proxy-user=domainname<\/em>\\username<\/em> --proxy-passwd=password<\/em> http:\/\/uri<\/em>\/<\/code><\/p>\n

That’s probably as far as most people need to go – adding a simple command line utility to a command-line Windows installation – but I wanted to take things a step further (purely out of curiosity) and I installed Mozilla Firefox<\/a> (v2.0.0.13). It worked, so I decided to try Apple Safari<\/a> (v3.1) and Opera<\/a> (v9.26). Safari installed (except the Bonjour component) but has a dependency on the Internet Options control panel applet (which is not present in server core) so I couldn’t define any proxy server settings. Meanwhile, Opera had no noticeable issues installing and loading a few test web pages. Next, I tried Internet Explorer 8 beta 1 and, as I expected, the installation failed. Bizarrely, it didn’t detect that I was trying to install it on server core but did attempt the installation, before failing and advising a restart followed by visit a web page (presumably using a competitor’s browser!) which redirects to Microsoft knowledge base article 949220<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Finally, I decided to go to the other extreme and try a text-mode browser. I found a version of Lynx that has been compiled for Windows<\/a> but in order to get past my proxy server it needed the same environment variable as wget<\/code>:<\/p>\n

set http_proxy=http:\/\/proxyserver<\/em>:portnumber<\/em><\/code><\/p>\n

Even with this, it is incapable of performing authenticated proxy operations so I kept getting an HTTP 407 response. The workaround is to use the NTLM Authorization Proxy Server (NTLMAPS)<\/a>, which depends on Python<\/a> (for which I found a 64-bit MSI package for Windows). Basically, NTLMAPS acts as a local proxy, configured to add the authentication headers and pass the request to the upstream server.<\/p>\n

By editing the server.cfg file to include the following entries (all other configuration items were left at their defaults) and running the start runserver.bat<\/code> command to launch the NTLMAPS server I was able to get NTLMAPS to prompt me for my password at startup and listen for HTTP requests (but not HTTPS) on port 5865:<\/p>\n

[GENERAL]
\nPARENT_PROXY:proxyserver<\/em>
\nPARENT_PROXY_PORT:portnumber<\/em><\/p>\n

[NTLM_AUTH]
\nNT_DOMAIN:domainname<\/em>
\nUSER:username<\/em>
\nPASSWORD:<\/code><\/p>\n

Then, I ran the following:<\/p>\n

set http_proxy=http:\/\/localhost:5865\/
\nlynx<\/code><\/p>\n

and was able to successfully browse the Internet through my corporate proxy server.<\/p>\n

In all seriousness, I can’t really think of a good reason to install a full browser on server core but the wget<\/code> command is probably useful. Even so, it’s still good to know that there are a few options for emergency surfing from a server core installation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
