wwwoffle to be removed from Debian unless a newmaintainer steps forth

2011-11-07T12:20:34

Gentlemen, wwwoffle is in danger of being removed from Debian
http://news.gmane.org/group/gmane.linux.debian.devel.general/thread=166494/
unless a new maintainer steps forth.
(Me? I'm too old. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kq5WPkLCAiY&list=PL6E40919035151385 )
It would perhaps be quite simple to maintain if one just used pretty
much the official upstream package without any local add ons.

website broken with wwwoffle

Matus UHLAR - fantomas — 2011-04-28T17:14:17

Hello,

when I'm trying to fetch 
http://www.hokej-megacamp.sk/hokej-sen/hokej.html
using wwwoffle, I get broken content:

Request Already Recorded message doesn't hammerthe point in enough

2011-01-21T22:37:50

Actually this isn't clear enough for my English:

  WWWOFFLE Request Already Recorded
  Your request for URL
  http://www...
  has already been recorded for download.

I would say:

  WWWOFFLE Request Previously Recorded
  Your request for URL
  http://www...
  has already been recorded for download.
  So there is no point in you asking this additional time, Holmes :-)

Or something.

Hmmm, 'previously' might not imply still on the queue though.
Anyway, 'already' for me is the common word companies use to say 'really
in the queue'.

Yes, if one compares the
WWWOFFLE Request Recorded and
WWWOFFLE Request Already Recorded
messages, one will know the difference.
However the latter means the former if one has never encountered the former.

Help. On one of my machines, if one tries to do ANYTHING with wwwoffle,
from the time of boot until first connecting to the Internet, one gets

# wwwoffled -c /etc/wwwoffle/wwwoffle.conf

After connecting to the Internet all works normally.

The problem occurs no matter what one puts in wwwoffle.conf, no matter
what one does with /etc/hosts, no matter what one does with pdnsd. Help.

Stopping an ongoing "wwwoffle -fetch" action?

Zrajm C Akfohg — 2010-05-16T20:41:56

I have involontarily started a "wwwoffle -fetch" at several times -- are
there any way of interrupting that? When I simply wish to stop downloading
pages, but not to flush any download queue, or anything of the sort.

(This mostly happens when I'm on my laptop, running on battery power.)

BTW is there some way of listing and manipulating the current download
queue?

request URL, but not if already in cache

Albert Reiner — 2009-11-13T09:56:05

Consider the following situation (running WWWOFFLE 2.9a under Linux):

Suppose I have a list of URLs, say, URL1 URL2 URL3..., some of which
are already present in the cache.  Now I want to make sure that, once
I am online again, those and only those URLi will be fetched that are
not already in the cache.

- One way to do this would be to start the browser and request each
  one of the URLi, which would do the right thing (show those pages
  that are already in the cache, mark for fetching those that are
  missing) but is extremely tedious if there are many URLs.

- The simplest I have come up with is

    cat <list-of-URLs> | xargs -i wwwoffle -o '{}' > /dev/null

  , which seems to work.

But what I would really like is some additional option such that

    cat <list-of-URLs> | xargs wwwoffle -<new-option>

will do the right thing, i.e., `wwwoffle -<new-option> URL1 URL2...`
would behave like `wwwoffle URL1 URL2...` for URLi not already cached
but skips those that are not present (and outputs some message like
'URLi is already in the cache, will not be fetched again' on stderr).

Would this be a valuable feature to add?  And is there any chance this
will actually be added in the future?  Comments?

Best regards, and many thanks to Andrew for WWWOFFLE which has been in
constant use here for many years -

Albert.
