Short: IBrowse Arexx script to register URL's
Author: close@mersinet.co.uk (Jon Close)
Uploader: close@mersinet.co.uk
Version: 1.1
Type: comm/www
This script will register your current active URL in IBrowse with the excellent
URL-Minder at:
"http://www.netmind.com/URL-minder/URL-minder.html"
The URL-minder keeps track of Web pages and other resources on the World Wide
Web, and sends you e-mail whenever your personally registered resources
change. You can have the URL-minder keep track of any Web resource accessible
via HTTP, FTP, or GOPHER -- anything you like!
When you first run this script, you will be prompted for your em-ail address.
The address is then stored in the environment variable 'RegisterURL'. If you
need to change this for any reason, delete the variable from ENV: and ENVARC:
Please make sure you enter your e-mail address correctly otherwise you will
obviously not be notified when any changes are made to the selected URL.
There are now five options available:
NEW Opens the confirmation page in a new IBrowse window.
NOCHECK Skips the e-mail confirmation at the URL-Minder.
TITLE Displays title of web page as subject of e-mail notification.
ATTACH Attach web page to e-mail notification.
EMBED Embed web page as in-line HTML within e-mail notification.
(NOTE: ATTACH & EMBED cannot be used together. ATTACH always takes priority.)
*******************************************************************************
BUGS: It seems that IBrowse is not able to receive arexx messages greater than
256 characters. I don't know yet if this is a problem with IBrowse or
ARexx but I will try and find a solution.
If you don't get confirmation from URL-Minder then go to their web site
at the above URL and register from there. You will only get problems with
very long URL's. As most are quite short you shouldn't have many problems.
