Background:

  WebJob downloads a program over HTTP/HTTPS and executes it in one
  unified operation. The output, if any, may be directed to
  stdout/stderr or a Web resource. WebJob may be useful in incident
  response and intrusion analysis as it provides a mechanism to run
  known good diagnostic programs on a potentially compromised system.
  It can also support a variety of centralized management and
  host-based monitoring solutions such as process monitoring, file
  integrity, package/patch deployment, configuration management,
  and policy compliance.

  WebJob is also the home of Payload and Delivery (PaD) technology.
  A PaD file is a self-extracting executable which can be implemented
  as either a script or a program. In addition to extracting their
  payload, PaD executables support flexible payload delivery. In
  other words, the user controls if, when, and how a given payload
  will be delivered. Within the PaD framework, delivery refers to
  the act of running one or more commands to manipulate or otherwise
  make use of the extracted payload.

Announcement:

  Version 1.2.3 is a update release of WebJob. Generally, code was
  cleaned up and refined as necessary. Faulty Content-Length detection
  and validation logic has been fixed. The PaD sub-project has been
  restructured and overhauled. New tools were added to facilitate
  PaD construction. The install location for nph-webjob.cgi has
  been moved to ${prefix}/cgi/cgi-client. Now, the CGI script allows
  the location of uploaded files to be customized, and it can be
  configured to search for requested programs/scripts in one or
  more shared directories. Finally, the configure/build process has
  been updated.
