Hello Dominique Bejean,
Good job.
We identified almost 8 open source web crawlers
http://www.findbestopensource.com/tagged/webcrawler I don't know how
far yours would be different from the rest.
Your license states that it is not open source but it is free for
personnel use.
Regards
Aditya

Hi,
I would like to announce Crawl Anywhere. Crawl-Anywhere is a Java
Web Crawler. It includes :
* a crawler
* a document processing pipeline
* a solr indexer
The crawler has a web administration in order to manage web sites
to be crawled. Each web site crawl is configured with a lot of
possible parameters (no all mandatory) :
* number of simultaneous items crawled by site
* recrawl period rules based on item type (html, PDF, …)
* item type inclusion / exclusion rules
* item path inclusion / exclusion / strategy rules
* max depth
* web site authentication
* language
* country
* tags
* collections
* ...
The pileline includes various ready to use stages (text
extraction, language detection, Solr ready to index xml writer, ...).
All is very configurable and extendible either by scripting or
java coding.
With scripting technology, you can help the crawler to handle
javascript links or help the pipeline to extract relevant title
and cleanup the html pages (remove menus, header, footers, ..)
With java coding, you can develop your own pipeline stage stage
The Crawl Anywhere web site provides good explanations and screen
shots. All is documented in a wiki.
The current version is 1.1.4. You can download and try it out from
here : www.crawl-anywhere.com <http://www.crawl-anywhere.com>
Regards
Dominique
