WebFetch v1.0k April 27, 1996 Filename : Feature.txt Features 1. Copy and paste full path names into WebFetch. 2. Create subdirectories. 3. Allow multiple downloads through command files. 4. Saves a record of downloaded files. 1. Copy and paste full path names into WebFetch. By using Windows standard powerkeys (ctrl-insert to copy, shift-insert to paste). Paste the full path in the Website Name box and then either hit the tab key, or click on the box. 2. Create subdirectories. If the subdirectory named in the D/L name does not exist, WebFetch will ask if you want to create the directory. 3. Allow multiple downloades through command files. WebFetch allows three different ways to "automatically" download one or more webpages at a time. - From the command line (Run menu, or as an item in a group) you call Webfetch with parameters that identify the full http path of the webpage or file, where to save it on your hard drive, and four optional parameters : run as an icon, D/L referenced graphics, Strip HTTP headers, and Overwrite existing files (the last three work similarly as the options on the WebFetch main screen). ex: webfetch -i -g -o -s http://www.yahoo.htm/ c:\temp\yahoo.htm Where the options -i(icon only), -g(D/L graphics), -o (overwrite existing files) and -s (Strip HTTP headers) are optional, but the full URL name and DOS filename are required. - From the command line you can pass the name of a "command" file that is a text file containing parameters like above, with one job per line. ex : /f weblog.txt where the /f parameter tells WebFetch to open and read the contents of the weblog.txt file and execute each line separately. example of contents : -i -g -o -s http://www.yahoo.htm/ c:\temp\yahoo.htm -i -g -s http://www.cnet.com/Content/Features/Techno/Gif89/ c:\temp\tech.htm - From WebFetch, you click on the "Auto Req..." and choose the command file to run automatically. It has the same format as in the previous section. 4. Saves a record of downloaded files. WebFetch saves a record of every file it downloads in a file named "weblog.txt". The format is the same as the command file mentioned in 3.
