Subject: Re: Arachne Wish List

Once again I plead for two things for Arachne:  

1.    ability to access secure sites

2.    javascript ability.

With regards to #1, if Opera (a Norwegian browser) is able to have secure 
site capability, why can't Arachne?  About a year or so ago, an encryption 
developer was reported as moving to Ireland to publish his encryption program 
to get around the U.S. export rules.

With regards to #2, too many sites use javascript, no matter how distasteful 
it may be, for Arachne to be without it.

Other things may be nice to have, but, IMO, these two are critical!

BTW, Opera identifies itself to web sites as IE.

Ahhhh..... 'twould be nice if 'twere that easy. ;-)

However,

Most web pages use a combination of both "static" and "dynamic"
addresses for images. (and for links to other pages)

(static)
<img src="http://www.cisnet.com/glennmcc/images/cacheidx.gif";>

(dynamic)
<img src="images/cacheidx.gif">

When the dynamic address is contained within a page located
at http://www.cisnet.com/glennmcc/

Then the 'completed address' becomes the same as if we had used the
static address.

The reason for doing this is for 'portability'.

The exact same page can be placed at many different
sites without editing to change a link to a (now local) file.

So.....
Doing a 'search and replace' of "http://.."; will not 'cut the mustard'.

Glenn,

I guess that I don't understand.  If all a person wants to do is to read a 
page offline, then it shouldn't make any difference if a dynamic image is 
changed to static, should it?

My point is simply that when the link is 'dynamic' it does
not contain "http://....";

Therefore, searching for "http://"; will not find it....
Therefore it will not get replaced.

The link will remain as
<img src="images/small/smallphoto-ofmyhouse-01.gif">

And will not be replaced by our required link to the local copy of
the image <img src="file://spmh-01.gif">

Glenn,

Why not parse for the elements contained within the brackets?

Search for the leading bracket ... 
- - if followed by a legal element (e.g., "<img src"), then ...
- - replace everything within the quotes (i.e., the folder and file name)
with the Arachne assigned name
- - the result would be an acceptable Arachne reference valid for offline
use

Subject: Results of spam filter test

Per my request I received sixteen fake spams at my alternate email
address "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" from various folks on the Arachne
List.  All of the fake spams were messages having the same subject
heading as many well known real spams.  The message content
contained words and phrases and sometimes even entire paragraphs
typically seen in the real spams.  I replied by private email to each
and every one of you who sent them to acknowledge my receipt of the
fake spams.

One of my replies I sent to Neil Parks.  His ISP bounced my reply
right back to me.  His ISP treated my reply as though it were a spam.

If any of you besides Neil Parks sent to me a fake spam for which you
did not receive a private acknowledgement from me, please let me know
about it by private email.  Also you may brag to the list that you
were successful in sending a fake spam to me that was treated by the
filters as though it were a real spam.

BTW, during the testing period I received a real spam having the subject
heading of "A New SECRET Strategy for Generating Unlimited Web Traffic.
LZPTCSOIKL".  Despite the most alarming subject, even that one seeped
right through the spam filters.

Hi Roger and Gangue,

Opera is an excellent vehicle for those with Win machines who don't 
want to clutter up drives with M$ bloat. It does most (not quite all) 
that IE and netscrape do in a reasonable size package and certainly 
works well enough with W95 and ISTR also with 3.1.

For e-mail I find Pocomail an excellent e-mailer, again in a 
reasonable size package, works ok without registration, no disabled 
features, just nag screens, but I liked it enough to register, just 
as I did with Arachne.

Although I have machines with around 5G plus of HDD, I cannot rid 
myself of the need to purge the drive of un-wanted stuff and keep 
only small versions of the programs I use so as to leave as much free 
space as possible. 

Comes from years of using DOS on HDD's of around 450Mgs size I 
suppose! [GRIN :>) ]

Regards

mel

Hi again Glenn,

Thanks for the welcome back. Have d/l'ed the "update" version and its 
in the machine ok, need to configure to my old settings and put my 
"key"  in place, but here's a strange thing!

(Maybe you know of this, it is a whiley since I've been on the list) 
The ver 1.70 I loaded in originally is recognised by the arachne home 
pages as the "latest" version in the wee bit top left corner  where 
Michael put the IE/Netscrap box a couple of years back. B U T! your 
newer ver 1.71 user one comes up with a "You are using an old version 
of Arachne" message and advising a download of the latest version 
from the website. This must be some kind of "if" and "then" statement 
in the page that only recognises the current version (1.70 or 
thereabouts) and assumes all others are older even with a higher   
number. Anyway, 1.71 looks ok. will play a while with it. I find it 
useful for website design to use 'rach to test pages for older 
browsers.

Regards

Mel

I sent four or five fake spams to Sam Heywood and he got them
all. Maybe the filtering is more complex and consideres subject,

As I advised via private email the Arachne website is no longer
up to date regarding Arachne. It recongnizes 1.70r3 as the latest
version. Arachne 1.71ue (user edition) was put together without
Michal Polak (but with his permission). There are some things he doesn't
like about it appearance wise and he hasn't made it an "official
version".

Most of the messages that lurk in my inbox get tossed out after
a week or two. Some I'm thinking about, some I hope to reply to,
some have interest for awhile only.

If I archive them I will tend to forget all about them and never
answer them or throw them out. Once I put them in the archive they
will be out of sight and out of mind. If they stay in the inbox
eventually I'll have to do something about them because Arachne
doesn't like a clogged inbox and gets so slow that I am forced
to clean house a little.

Putting something in an "archive" for me means that I have
decided to save it.

Bob,

There is no need to parse the page source as the pairings are all included in 
CACHE.IDX.  I finally got a text version of CACHE.IDX by using the -c option 
of WWWMAN to create CACHEIDX.HTM and then using HTMSTRIP to get a pure text 
version so that I would not have to copy full source page reference paths 
into an e-mail message.

The CACHE.IDX is that of my home page, MY.YAHOO.  The first few lines of 
CACHE.IDX are:  (My comments will be all upper case for distinction.)

Hope this is much clearer.  It doesn't make any difference if the searched 
for item begins with "http://...."; or not.  This way the page can be read 
offline with the images shown.

It may even be prudent to replace the cached page source name (55075314.HTM) 
with an 8.3 filename so that it would be relevant for offline reading, e.g., 
for this example, replace cached page source name, 55075314.HTM, with 
myyahoo1.htm

I'm sorry that I did not explain myself more clearly to begin with.

That is *exactly* what is being done already with the files in our
cache directory and the cache-index file (cache.idx)

If all you D/Led was the "update file".

You don't have evereything that you will need to complete
the entire  v1.71;UE01 "package".

All that is included in that 'update' are the files that were changed
between my first release of v1.71 and the 'current release'.

Here's the list of *everything* that has changed
between v1.70 and the up-coming v1.73;GPL
http://www.cisnet.com/glennmcc/ar173gpl-changed_file_list.txt

Most of those same files were also changed going from 1.70 to 1.71

Why not? The stupidity of the general public and what they'll waste money on

But I think Bastiaan's problem is one I've run into when trying to save
a HTML page. Pressing F2 will save the basic page but NOT any graphics
that are linked into it. The graphics have to be snatched from the
cache, and due to the numbering system used in the cache it is not easy
to loacte them. Usually on a freshly loaded page the associated graphics
will be the most recent ones in the cache, but not always.

One solution, which may not be the best but it works, is to press F8 to
clear the cache then reload the page. Then whatever is in the cache must
be the graphics associated with the page in question.
