- GetNET.thor 1.4 (26.6.96) by Remco van Hooff (rvhooff@globalxs.nl)
-
- GetNET can do 2 things:
-
- 1: Grab http adresses (WWW addresses) from the current message, and save
- them to the hotlist of your favourite WWW browser(s).
- Browsers currently supported are:
-
- AMosaic
- AWeb
- IBrowse (0.81+)
- Voyager
- HTML is also supported which can be read by any browser.
-
- 2: Grab email addresses from the current message, and save them to the
- userlist of your Internet system.
-
- REQUIREMENTS:
- - Thor 2.2+
- - COPY and DELETE somewhere in your path
- - A WWW browser (Amosaic, IBrowse, ALynx, AWeb, ...),
- only for the www addresses.
-
- USAGE:
- As usual you need to edit some variables:
-
- - Edit the BBS variable to point to your Internet system.
-
- - Edit the HOTLIST_* variables for the right path/file for the hotlists.
-
- - Edit the AMOSAIC/IBROWSE/VOYAGER/AWEB/HTML variables:
- 1 = save to hitlist,
- 0 = don't save to hotlist
- You can have all set to 1 if you use all the browsers, or 0 if you don't
- want to save anything :.) (you'll be notified if you have turned all off).
-
- - Edit the LOOP variable:
- 0 = loop
- 1 = no loop
- This variable will enable you to return to the main requester (chose
- between HTTP, Email or Quit) after you've saved email/http addresses.
-
- - You can also edit the filter chars, I already included the most common
- chars. The '.' is "hardcoded" and is therefore not included in the filter
- list.
- A filter character is a character that may be "connected" to an address,
- e.g. <email@address.somewhere>
- The '<' and '>' are not part of the actual address and thus should be
- removed.
- So filters for these characters are: filter.1.x = '>', filter.2.x = '<'
- filter.1.x are used for chars that follow the address (http and email)
- filter.2.x are used for chars that preceed the address (email only)
-
- Note:
- - You can leave the name of the address empty, they will automatically be
- replaced by a default name.
- If you selected HTTP the default name is 'subj (i)', subj is
- the subject of the msg without 'Re:'.
- If you selected Email the default name is the userid (eg rvhooff in
- rvhooff@globalxs.nl).
- - Duplicate addresses will not be shown.
- - The HTTP oprion will search the msg HEADER, the Email option will not.

- HISTORY:
- 1.0 - Joined 2 programs (GetHTTP and GetEmail) together into one program.
- The programs use a lot of similar code, so joining them together
- will use less HD space :.)
-
- 1.1 - Added AWeb hotlist support.
- - Removed 'GetNet -' from default names when saving to the hotlists.
- - Added loop option. You can now chose if you want to return to the start
- requester or not.
- - Changed the IBrowse hotlist format to that of verion 0.81.
-
- 1.2 - Added Voyager hotlist support.
-
- 1.3 - Fixed some trouble with arexx ports when ConnectThor was running.
-
- 1.4 - Addresses that don't start with 'http://' but do start with 'www.'
- will now also be shown.
- - Fixed a bug in the HTML save routine (does anybody use it?).
-
- TO DO:
- - More hotlists (send me a short hotlist if you want to have it supported).
- - GetFTP. I'm still working on it.
- The code will either search for 'ftp://', for x.x.domain (or #.#.#.#), or
- both. The first option will be as fast as that of GetNET, the latter 2
- will be slow (I'll have to check against 200+ domains) and will therefore
- be implemented as an option.
-
- The found addresses will be saved to the hotlist of your WWW browser.
- This is the only solution until I can get my hands on the formats of FTP
- clients, so if you are an FTP client author please post me the format of
- the hotlist. If you're not an author but do know what the format of a
- certain client is please post it to me and I'll ask permission from the
- author.
