10       You can have sections without a URL, they will update the defaults for
11       all the subsequenet blocks. The Name and Prefix parameters are required
12       as well as one of Email, EmailLink and Program. The rest are completely
13       optional.
14
15       The following parameters (case-sensitive) are recognized in each
16       section:
17
18           URL        - URL of web page to monitor
19
20           Name       - Name of web site. Pages delivered to you will have the
21                        following format: "Name - Date (Day)" eg. "PC Magazine - 4
22                        Sep 98 (Fri)"
23
24           Prefix     - Prefix of filenames for archive files of web pages created
25                        by Web Secretary.
26
27           Email      - Comma-delimited list of email addresses to send highlighted
28                        pages to.
29
30           EmailLink  - Comma-delimited list of email addresses to send URL of
31                        changed pages to.
32
33           Program    - application to call with the diff-file, special cases:
34                        "mozilla", pages are opened in new tabs,
35                        "konqueror", pages are opened using "kfmclient openURL"
36
37           Auth       - Authentication information in "username:password" format.
38                        Put "none" if no authentication needed.
39
40           Diff       - Put "none" if you want Web Secretary to always mail this
41                        page to you instead of checking for and highlighting
42                        changes in the page.  Put "webdiff" if you want Web
43                        Secretary to check for changes.
44                        Put "htmldiff" to use a different implementation of HTML
45                        diff output. Note that you need to install the perl-modules
46                        Algorithm::Diff and HTML::Diff which are availabe on
47                        http://www.cpan.org/ for this to work.
48
49           Hicolor   -  Color used to highlight new or changed content. Currently,
50                        four colors are defined. They are: blue, pink, yellow and
51                        grey. You can also supply your own HTML color tag in the
52                        form "#rrggbb".
53
54           Ignore     - Comma-delimited List of section names containing ignore
55                        keywords. There must be NO SPACES between delimiters and
56                        section names. The ignore sections and keywords are stored
57                        in a file called "ignore.list".
58
59           IgnoreURL  - Comma-delimited List of section names containing ignore
60                        URLs. There must be NO SPACES between delimiters and
61                        section names. The ignore sections and keywords are stored
62                        in a file called "ignore.list".
63
64           AsciiMarker - If set to 1 it will add ascii markers around the changes so
65                            that highlighting is noticeable in text mode too. Useful for
66                                        text MUAs users.
67
68           Tmin       - Every token containing <= Tmin words will not be highlighted
69                        for differences.
70
71           Tmax       - Every token containing >= Tmax words will not be checked for
72                        ignore keywords.
73
74           Proxy      - Specify proxy "http://your.proxy.here:portnum" if you are
75                        using one. (Alternatively, you can make use of the
76                        "http_proxy" environment variable)
77
78           ProxyAuth  - Specify proxy authentication in "username:password" format.
79                        The code for this feature was contributed by Volker Stampa.
80
81           MailFrom   - The E-Mail address to send mail from, this can be left empty
82                        and the user used to run websec will be used.
83
84           ProgramDigest - If specified "true", websec does not open all changed pages
85                        separately with the application specified in "Program", but opens
86                        a summary page that contains links to all changed pages.
87
88           Digest     - true|false or yes|no. This works only if EmailLink is
89                        specified. It consolidates all the changed URLs and sends
90                        them in one email.
91
92           UserAgent  - The User-Agent that will be sent by the web client. This can
93                        be used to bypass servers that prevent access based on the user
94                        agent.
95
96           DateFMT    - Date format to use in e-mail messages, can be empty for no date.
97                        Set it to " - %Y-%m-%d" for ISO dates. This is perl format for dates.
98
99           RandomWait - Websec waits for a random number of seconds between retries up
100                        to the value specified by the RandomWait keyword. This is to
101                        prevent websec from being blocked by websites that perform log
102                        analysis to find time similarities between requests.
103
104       Any line which begins with a '#' is treated as comment and ignored.
105
106       If a section does not contain a URL entry, the values provided will be
107       treated as the default for the following sections.
108
109       For example,
110
111           # Defaults
112           Auth = none
113           Diff = webdiff
114           Hicolor = blue
115           Ignore = General,Date_Time
116           IgnoreURL = Adverts
117           Tmin = 1
118           Tmax = 10
119           Proxy = http://proxy.nus.edu.sg:8080
120           Email = vchew@post1.com
121
122           # Web page to monitor which does not require authentication
123           URL = http://browserwatch.iworld.com/news.html
124           Name = Browser Watch
125           Prefix = browsewatch
126
127           # New defaults with authentication information
128           Auth = user:password
129
130           # More web pages to monitor which requires authentication
131           URL = http://www.infoworld.com
132           Name = Infoworld
133           Prefix = infoworld
134
135           URL = http://developer.javasoft.com/
136           Name = Java Developer Central
