Michael Joyce commented on NUTCH-2062:
--------------------------------------
Hi folks,
Just wanted to elaborate a bit on what this does at the moment and what the
point of it is. This plugin is effectively the protocol-selenium plugin but it
allows for a "handler" to interact with the WebDriver before returning the page
content. Handlers require a simple interface to be implemented. Which
handler(s) are run is determined by setting the class name of the handler in a
comma separated list in the config. For each URL, all the handlers are run in
config-specified order. The resulting content from each driver is appended
together and returned as the content.

> The protocol-selenium plugin is great for pulling webpages that dynamically
> load content. However, I've run into use cases where I need to actively
> interact with a page in Selenium before it becomes useful. For instance, I
> may need to paginate through a table to get all results that I'm interested
> in. This plugin will handle that use case.
