[Dxspider-support] New Gateway for Integrating Web Users into DXSpider

[Kin]

Hi,

For those running a web frontend that sends spots or announcements to the
network - but without opening a Telnet session for each web user - I've
developed a lightweight node that acts as a gateway between the web frontend
and DXSpider.

This solves the problem where announcements sent from the web might be
considered suspicious or unreliable, and therefore risk being discarded by
other nodes.

If any sysop is interested, the script is available here:
https://github.com/EA3CV/dxspider_info/blob/main/gateway.pl

It can be installed as a service. A separate script is provided to handle
the setup:
https://github.com/EA3CV/dxspider_info/blob/main/install_gateway_service.sh

The system is currently in testing and appears to be working as intended.

Happy Easter.
