NAME

url.list - websec url monitoring configuration

DESCRIPTION

The URL list consists of one or more sections separated by newlines. You can have sections without a URL, they will update the defaults for all the subsequenet blocks. The Name and Prefix parameters are required as well as one of Email, EmailLink and Program. The rest are completely optional.

The following parameters (case-sensitive) are recognized in each section:

     URL        - URL of web page to monitor
 
     Name       - Name of web site. Pages delivered to you will have the
                  following format: "Name - Date (Day)" eg. "PC Magazine - 4
                  Sep 98 (Fri)"
 
     Prefix     - Prefix of filenames for archive files of web pages created
                  by Web Secretary.
 
     Email      - Comma-delimited list of email addresses to send highlighted
                  pages to.
 
     EmailLink  - Comma-delimited list of email addresses to send URL of
                  changed pages to.
 
     Program    - application to call with the diff-file, special cases:
                  "mozilla", pages are opened in new tabs,
                  "konqueror", pages are opened using "kfmclient openURL"
 
     Auth       - Authentication information in "username:password" format. 
                  Put "none" if no authentication needed.
 
     Diff       - Put "none" if you want Web Secretary to always mail this
                  page to you instead of checking for and highlighting
                  changes in the page.  Put "webdiff" if you want Web
                  Secretary to check for changes.
                  Put "htmldiff" to use a different implementation of HTML
                  diff output. Note that you need to install the perl-modules
                  Algorithm::Diff and HTML::Diff which are availabe on 
                  http://www.cpan.org/ for this to work.
 
     Hicolor   -  Color used to highlight new or changed content. Currently,
                  four colors are defined. They are: blue, pink, yellow and
                  grey. You can also supply your own HTML color tag in the
                  form "#rrggbb".
 
     Ignore     - Comma-delimited List of section names containing ignore
                  keywords. There must be NO SPACES between delimiters and
                  section names. The ignore sections and keywords are stored
                  in a file called "ignore.list".
 
     IgnoreURL  - Comma-delimited List of section names containing ignore
                  URLs. There must be NO SPACES between delimiters and
                  section names. The ignore sections and keywords are stored
                  in a file called "ignore.list".
 
     AsciiMarker - If set to 1 it will add ascii markers around the changes so
                      that highlighting is noticeable in text mode too. Useful for
                                  text MUAs users.
 
     Tmin       - Every token containing <= Tmin words will not be highlighted
                  for differences.
 
     Tmax       - Every token containing >= Tmax words will not be checked for
                  ignore keywords.
 
     Proxy      - Specify proxy "http://your.proxy.here:portnum" if you are
                  using one. (Alternatively, you can make use of the
                  "http_proxy" environment variable)
 
     ProxyAuth  - Specify proxy authentication in "username:password" format.
                  The code for this feature was contributed by Volker Stampa.
 
     MailFrom   - The E-Mail address to send mail from, this can be left empty
                  and the user used to run websec will be used.
 
     ProgramDigest - If specified "true", websec does not open all changed pages 
                  separately with the application specified in "Program", but opens
                  a summary page that contains links to all changed pages. 
 
     Digest     - true|false or yes|no. This works only if EmailLink is
                  specified. It consolidates all the changed URLs and sends
                  them in one email.
 
     UserAgent  - The User-Agent that will be sent by the web client. This can
                  be used to bypass servers that prevent access based on the user
                  agent.
 
     DateFMT    - Date format to use in e-mail messages, can be empty for no date.
                  Set it to " - %Y-%m-%d" for ISO dates. This is perl format for dates.
 
     RandomWait - Websec waits for a random number of seconds between retries up
                  to the value specified by the RandomWait keyword. This is to
                  prevent websec from being blocked by websites that perform log
                  analysis to find time similarities between requests.
 
 

Any line which begins with a '#' is treated as comment and ignored.

If a section does not contain a URL entry, the values provided will be treated as the default for the following sections.

For example,

     # Defaults
     Auth = none
     Diff = webdiff
     Hicolor = blue
     Ignore = General,Date_Time
     IgnoreURL = Adverts
     Tmin = 1
     Tmax = 10
     Proxy = http://proxy.nus.edu.sg:8080
     Email = vchew@post1.com
 
     # Web page to monitor which does not require authentication
     URL = http://browserwatch.iworld.com/news.html 
     Name = Browser Watch
     Prefix = browsewatch
 
     # New defaults with authentication information
     Auth = user:password
 
     # More web pages to monitor which requires authentication
     URL = http://www.infoworld.com
     Name = Infoworld
     Prefix = infoworld
 
     URL = http://developer.javasoft.com/
     Name = Java Developer Central
     Prefix = jdc
