Heh - that looks like exactly what I was doing for the last 8 years. Do you have any vacancies?? :)<div><br></div><div>URLPlus uses curl, so it should be able to do what your existing scripts do. This is the line in the showUrl subroutine:</div>

for feedback<br></font><br></div><div><div></div><div class="h5">
<div></div>For those of you who have been around here for a while, you will have
noticed that I've been somewhat absent of late. The short story is, I have
changed jobs and just don't get as many opportunities to check in as I used
to. This also means I have left my reasons for working on URLPlus behind,
which is why development of it has stopped.<br><br>The purpose of this post is
because I have gotten a few requests from time to time about URLPlus, and I'm
curious what the interest in me getting back to developing it would be.
I've been out of the loop as far as new features in the latest version of Hobbit
being worked on, but from what I understand, while there are more web page
monitoring features built-in, there are still some things where URLPlus could be
useful.<br><br>So, I would be interested in the following feedback:<br>1) Is
there still demand for more robust website content checking features than what
Hobbit supports out of the box?<br>2) If so, what are the features missing in
Hobbit that people are looking for?<br>3) For those who have chosen to use
URLPlus, what are the reasons for that, versus using some other Hobbit plugin
(or for that matter, some other monitoring tool)?<br>4) Finally, for those that
are using URLPlus, what additional features would you like to see it be capable
of doing?<br><br><br>-Gary<br></div></div><pre>NOTICE: This email and any attachments are confidential.
