- 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.
