RE: [hobbit] URLplus

Hi Darryl,

I'm interested in 
- go to a web page
- insert username/password to login
- surf the web site following specific links
- grab some data from a specific web page
- check the grabbed data (ie if GRABBED_DATA < MY_THRESHOLD then alert)

Thanks.


Regards.

Massimo:

What exactly are you looking for out of urlplus?

I am working on changing urlplus to use libcurl instead of the using the curl command line tool.  Some website monitoring I needed involved using shared session data (in a nefarious cross-site scripting way, but that is what our app was doing) and hitting multiple links on a website with the same initial login authentication session data.  You can only do the shared cookies/session stuff with libcurl.

I am using a bare bones perl/libcurl script to do the aforementioned monitoring now and have not yet plugged it into Gary's urlplus.
Furthermore, given the complexity of what I am trying to do with shared session login the urlplus configuration file layout has to be looked at again.

We'll keep the list posted on any progress.

Gary has a 1.22 version laying around but I am not sure what's changed and it's a year old already.

Regards,
-dkw
