Progress messages


WEBsweeper does not allow any data to be returned to the Web browser until it has all been validated. It can only begin validation when all the data has been received from the Internet Web server. From the point of view of the Web browser it can appear as though nothing is happening during the transfer of large files, when in reality WEBsweeper is receiving data from the Internet. WEBsweeper provides progress messages to inform the user about the status of the download.

The progress message displays certain information, to indicate the current state of the transfer.

The information displayed is as follows:

You can update the information displayed by clicking on the Update Now button. Cancel the download by clicking on the Stop Download button.

Progress messages can be configured, and enabled or disabled, using the [ProgressMessages]section of the web configuration file, WEBSWP.CFG. See page 7-14 for details.

Proxy chaining

WEBsweeper has the ability to chain to other proxy servers, including another WEBsweeper. For example, departmental WEBsweepers, with validation configured for the needs of each department, could be arranged to chain to a company WEBsweeper, configured for the common needs of the company, as illustrated in the diagram below.

In this situation, progress messages should only be enabled on the company WEBsweeper.

See page 3-9 for more details on proxy chaining.
