Member "websec-1.9.0/TODO" (22 Nov 2003, 4757 Bytes) of package /linux/www/old/websec-1.9.0.tar.gz:


As a special service "Fossies" has tried to format the requested text file into HTML format (style: standard) with prefixed line numbers. Alternatively you can here view or download the uninterpreted source code file.

    1 Next Release
    2 ------------
    3 
    4 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/websec/message/79 has an elisp mode to highlight
    5 url.list.
    6   + need an equivalent from vim.
    7   + Find out where to install the emacs mode
    8   ? Fix it, it seems broken, need user input on this.
    9 
   10 Adam Stanley provided patches to add:
   11  + 'MailFrom', the address from which the mail will come from.
   12  - 'DiffOnly', send only the difference, as opposed to whole document with highlighted differences
   13  + Follow Refresh zero, Follow links if the site uses refresh zero.
   14 
   15 
   16 Short Term
   17 ----------
   18 
   19 B3450, Inconsistency with the .websec/url.list location finding and using websec with a file parameter.
   20 
   21 Run the html output of webdiff through a text mode browser for the benefit of
   22 text MUA users. This, coupled with the DiffOnly patch will provide an
   23 approximate for the request of Daniel Fraga.
   24 
   25 B3497, Show also removed content from the html page, possibly use HTML::Diff
   26 
   27 Enable running multiple websec instances at the same time:
   28 MSG70 - see below
   29   - Implement
   30 
   31 Send mail from windows:
   32 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/websec/message/21
   33   - Improve mail sending
   34 
   35 Problem with script pages (eg Slashdot):
   36 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/websec/message/35 
   37   - Check if needed
   38 
   39 Patch to remove script/noscript:
   40 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/websec/message/38
   41   - Check if needed, related to Slashdot issues.
   42 
   43 Multi-User patches and RPM spec:
   44 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/websec/message/45
   45   - Investigate
   46 
   47 B3449, Notify when pages in url.list haven't been updated for a long time.
   48 
   49 B3472, Provide a method to specify how often to check for changes, mostly for dialup users.
   50 Can also be used for a constantly running program.
   51 
   52 
   53 Long Term
   54 ---------
   55 
   56 Keep a website as an image to be put in the desktop background.
   57 MSG72 - see below
   58   - Investigate
   59 
   60 Create GUI for websec, similar to kwebwatch, but implement the GUI with Perl
   61 bindings, this will allow wxWindows bindings for windows and gtk/qt bindings for
   62 Linux.
   63   - Implement, need to modulrize websec to work as a library and have differt
   64     GUI, where 'text' is one of them and is the same as now, a simple command
   65     line.

   86 Hi,
   87 
   88 I use a lot of cron'ed websec and sometimes 2 or more websec runs at
   89 the same time creating (I think) a race condition. Sometimes I get
   90 weird HTML email where the subject and the body doesn't match.
   91 
   92 So I think this should fix it.

   96 P.S. Bottom part of the diff adds no caching keyword to the request
   97 which isn't related to this issue. BTW, "max-age=..." seems to be
   98 automatically added to "Cache-Control" probably by LWP, so I don't
   99 know if it's valid.

  151 Hi!
  152 I just wanted to know if (and how) it is possible to save an hourly changed 
  153 web site (gif image) to my local hard disk (and use it as desktop background) 
  154 instead of letting it by emailed to me.
  155 thanx
