- Readme File for Webcelerator build 162
-
- You may experience problems running Webcelerator through a proxy. If you have
- problems using a proxy on your local machine, make sure that its proxy
- settings are in the form 127.0.0.1:PORT_NUMBER. Webcelerator will get
- confused if the IP address is something other than 127.0.0.1 IF IT IS ON YOUR
- LOCAL MACHINE. For example if you have a proxy on your machine and you have
- the settings set to call the proxy using your computers name Webcelerator
- will get confused.
-
- It is imperative that you close all web browsers, including things like
- Netscape Mail and Composer before you run the setup program.
-
- If the Webcelerator control panel does not appear after you install, please
- run Webcelerator from the start menu.
-
- If you have problems with any particular site, we have included a file,
- EXCLUDE.TXT that you can edit to fix the problem. Below is the instructions
- on how to edit the file.
-
- Use EXCLUDE.TXT to specify the handling of specific sites.
- This is useful to work around specific site problems such as the need
- to log in to a site, the site does not load correctly, you want to
- censor the site, or you do not care to wait for refreshed pages when the
- the site changes.
-
- You may edit and add to this file. Enter one domain or site name per line.
- You may have one or more modifying parameters after each name.
- There needs to be a space between the domain name and the parameters, but no
- space between individual parameters. If no parameter is given, the default
- is p.
-
-
- The following is an outline of available parameters:
-
- d - Censor. This option will allow no data to flow from this site. Instead,
- Webcelerator will load a blank page for that site.
-
- b - Pass-Thru. This option will not prefetch or cache any data from this site.
- This site will be treated as if Webcelerator was not enabled. Data will
- pass directly to the browser.
-
- p - Don't Show and Verify. This option will disable the "Show and Verify"
- mode for this site if you have "Show and Verify" enabled globally.
- Reloading or revisiting this site will load the newer version of the page
- (if the page has changed) from the internet first, and then display the
- changed data in the browser. This overrides the default, which is to show
- the cached data in the browser, check for any changes in the background,
- and then force the browser to reload with the new data only if the page
- has changed.
-
- v - Don't verify. This option will disable the verification process for this
- site if you have show and verify enabled globally. Reloading or
- revisiting this site will simply load any data from Webcelerator's cache
- and not check for newer versions of stored files.
-
- r - Don't reload. This option will disable the automatic reloading of the
- browser window when this site has changed in show and verify mode.
-
- g - Beep on Verify failed. This flag will cause Webcelerator to beep when
- verification has shown that a file has changed. This is to notify you
- that you should hit the reload or refresh button to get the current
- information.
-
- x - Never beep. This flag will cause Webcelerator to never beep on this site
- even if verification has shown that a file has changed.
-
- a - Don't prefetch. Webcelerator will not prefetch anything from a site with
- this flag.
-
- For the parameters, lower case letters cause the action listed, and upper-
- case letters will undo it. For example, your global setting (set through
- the Webcelerator menus) may be set to "Beep mode" to signal a changed page.
- You may enter here "market.net p" to cause that domain to ONLY show
- already verified and updated pages. But then you may add "market.net/admin/ P"
- to return that sub-domain to the global setting, and you may add
- "market.net/admin/picks.htm b" to never cache that single page.
-
- Please note that these parameters are to DISABLE global features. They
- cannot add features that have not been set globally. Therefore you cannot
- cause an auto-reload when the global setting is beep mode, and you cannot
- cause either "Show and verify" setting when "Show and verify" is not
- selected globally.
-
- Some of the URLs already contained in your Exclude.txt are advertising
- sites coded "ar" so that their advertisements will not be prefetched or
- will not cause a reload. Others are business data sites with the default "p" setting
- so that only the verified version is displayed.
