DESCRIPTION

wwwofflecontrols theWorld Wide Web Offline Explorer proxy HTTP server.

The wwwoffle program is used to control the wwwoffled program, to tell it whenthe computer is online or offline, and which URLs to get and when to fetch them.

The control options are also available from the server on an interactive controlweb page at http://localhost:8080/control/.

OPTIONS

The command line options available for the program are described below.

-h: A help message is printed giving a brief description of the usage of theprogram.
-online: Tell the wwwoffled proxy server that the computer is online to the internet andthat requests are to be fetched immediately.
-autodial: Tell the wwwoffled proxy server that the computer can become online to theinternet if required for requests that are not already cached, but that pagesthat are in the cache do not require any netwrok access. This is intended foruse with dial-on-demand systems (using diald for example).
-offline: Tell the wwwoffled proxy server that the computer is not online to the internetand that requests are to be cached until they are fetched later.
-fetch: Tell the wwwoffled proxy server to fetch all of the requests that have beencached. (The proxy server must be online for this to work.) The program willwait until all of the requests have been met before exiting.
-config: Tell the wwwoffled proxy server to re-read the configuration file.
-purge: Tell the wwwoffled proxy server that the cache is to be purged. Theconfiguration file wwwoffle.conf(5) specifies the maximum age of the pages tokeep. If a maximum cache size is specified then the oldest pages are deleteduntil the size is not exceeded.
-kill: Tell the wwwoffled proxy server to exit cleanly at the next convenient point.
url: The URL of a web page that is to be fetched. This is the same as using abrowser and entering the URL if not already in the cache or pressing the refreshbutton in the index if it is in the cache.
file: The name of an HTML file that is to be parsed and the links in it are to befetched as if the URLs had been specified on the command line.
-o: Fetch the specified URL (from the cache or request it if not already cached whenoffline, or get it when online) and output it on standard output. This is an easyway of getting an image out of the cache to be used in other programs.
-F: Force the specified URLs to be refreshed. Without this option, the page willnot be fetched if not newer than the version on the server.
-r[<depth>]: Causes the pages linked to by the specified URLs also to be fetched if they areon the same host.
-R[<depth>]: The same as-rabove, but it also works for links that are not on the same host.
-d[<depth>]: The same as-rabove, but is limited to links in the same directory or a sub-directory.
-i: Also fetches the images that are included in the specified URLs.
-f: Also fetches the frames that are included in the specified URLs.
-c <config-file>: Specifies the name of the configuration file that contains the server host name,port number and authorisation password. This is required for the -online,-offline, -fetch, -config and -purge options if a password is set. The usermust have read access to the configuration file to be able to use the command ifa password is set.(See the StartUp and LocalHost section of wwwoffle.conf(5) for more informationon setting the server host name, ports and password.)
-p <host>[:<port>]: Sets the hostname and port number that is to be ued for the connection to theproxy server. For the -online, -offline, -fetch, -config and -purge option thismust be the wwwoffle demon port, for the url options it must be the http proxyserver port. If no -p option is specified then the compiled in defaults areused.
