WebWolf

Preferences

This Dialog is used to configure and customise the operation of WebWolf.



Browser

WebWolf presents all results in a HTML format, and you will need a WWW Browser such Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer to view them. The executable file name including the full pathname specification of the browser you wish to use must be entered in the box provided. Once entered, the [help] button can be used to verify the setting.


Proxy Server Address & Port

If you need to access the Internet via a proxy, the address and port of the proxy server, or gateway must be specified. If are getting constant 'Host not Found' error messages, chances are that your proxy settings are not correct.


Timeout Delay

The lenght of time WebWolf will wait before attempting to Retry and/or abort a network operation. The default value is 4000 milliseconds. If you specify a smaller delay, WebWolf will run faster, but may skip sites that are slow to respond. Please note that unless you have a very fast internet connection, you should not use a delay less than 2000 milliseconds as the program may not function correctly.


Number of Wolves In pack

Specifies the number of concurrent connections that are to be used to hunt (scan) the web. You may wish to specify a smaller number, if you are running WebWolf in the background while downloading files or using your browser. Five is the default, but if you have a fast connection and loads of system memory (aprox 300K per wolf) you can increase it anywhere up to a maximum of 20.


File Filter


    The File Filter is used to specify whether certain file types should be included in the results, or ignored. WebWolf can identify MAC and Unix specific files types which you may not want in your final results.



Report Options


    sorted - If enabled, file lists will be sorted, otherwise new found entries will always be appended at the end.
    Use Frames - If enabled, frames will be used to display reports.
    Glowing Buttons - If you find that your browser is displaying javascript errors, you may disable the use of animated buttons.



Browser


    Controls where and how reports are displayd. If the Use existing option is selected, WebWolf will use the last active browser window to display the results, otherwise reports will display in a new browser window. Please note that this option may not work with Internet Explorer
