Hi,

Those of you who like to test beta versions, or like to do me a favor,
please test this version:
http://home.snafu.de/tilman/tmp/xenubeta.zip

There is not much that is new. I have included a segment that was
previously only on request, which deals with "foreign" URLs. But I'd
like to be sure that everything else still runs fine as usual.

Tilman

I am running a online shop for a local firm and I thought Xenu would be
a good way to help make a google sitemap but when I ran it on the site
it came up with thousands of links and seems like it was going in
circles. Anyone else got experience of using it on Open Commerce site.

You should try to find out why it is going in circles (or rather, adding
URLs again and again). Could it be a session id?

Good news: according to virustotal.com, McAfee no longer considers Xenu
to be malware.

Its got Session Ids so its likely that which is causing issues. I tried
to do a scan on it last night. Got 31,644 URLs and it got up to 17,991
before I stopped it. The site only has about 300 products.

You might try to enable cookies (see on the xenu website), but make sure
that you aren't logged in or so, so that it doesn't order or delete
something.

No... I have no experience with encryption programming (although I'm a
heavy user of encryption software), and I'd want to store the password
encrypted in the INI file, and never display it again.

So lets consider this:
You spend maybe 1 minute every week / month to enter that ftp password.

compared with

I spend a day or two to understand the windows encryption API, or try to
find an example at codeguru/codeproject.com, and integrate it into Xenu.

Hello,
is Tilman reading here ?

My
Feature Suggestion:
a)
Please provide a loadable website definition file ( = configuration file )

as typing in the "exceptions" each time is annoying ( after you offer
exceptions, thanks for that ). And thinking about proper exceptions is hard
work, so you have to write it down anyhow - why not in a configuration fle ?!

So that a non-technical expert might run XENU monthly/weekly ect, by just
running Xenu and loading the website file prepared by an expert.

I think its time now that Xenu gets serious to be used "automatically".

b)
Please provide a way to kill processes QUICKLY, when a user wants to abort Xenu.
Now there is the modal window which explains that 1000 processes are running.
This might be true, technically, but does not help the user to get rid of Xenu
quickly.

It helps to kill Xenu several times, then Windows askes if it may abort the
whole stuff :-). But this is of course no "clean" solution.

Sincerely
Rolf

They are loaded after you have typed in the URL, or got it from the drop
down box.

press STOP, this is near the PAUSE button.

If the processes are not stopped then, then it means there's a bug
(seems to happen with some ftp jobs, i.e. the background process dies
and xenu doesn't get notice)

I'd like to second Rolf on his request.
There is the file Xenu.ini with all the information, and I prepared it for
my users accordingly, so that they can start their linkchecks without
worrying about restrictions.
But it is a strange mixture of preferences, history, settings etc, and every
time a check is run it is changed by Xenu.
So while it serves some of the purposes that Rolf is asking for, it is not
quite as straightforward as it could be.
I would prefer a separation of the file into different files, in particular
one file for each website that is checked with all the additional settings
needed and which remains unchanged by Xenu (unless preferences are altered).
My Xenu.ini now has 55KB and it starts to get a little confusing.

All the best
Thomas

Hi,

For those of you who are annoyed of the bug with mail URLs of the kind

mailto:user@...?subject=xxx

there's a new version that solves it:
http://home.snafu.de/tilman/tmp/xenubeta.zip

Tilman

It seems that there's a bug in my software with links like this one:

<a
href="http://www.dctp.tv/#/meinungsmacher/udo-vetter-lawblog">interview</a>

I just throw away everything after the #, so I would spider to
http://www.dctp.tv/ , which shows a different content.

Does anybody know the meaning of a # that appears "deep inside" an URL,
and what would the correct logic to differentiate it from the classic
'#' as explained in
http://www.w3.org/Addressing/URL/uri-spec.html ? Could it be "it doesn't
count if the '#' is before a '/'" ?

If so, what about this URL
http://www.ftd.de/auto/bilder/:galerie-die-fiatisierung-von-chrysler/50059172.ht\
ml#utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss_feed&utm_campaign=/
where the content is identical to this URL
http://www.ftd.de/auto/bilder/:galerie-die-fiatisierung-von-chrysler/50059172.ht\
ml
?

Tilman

This is almost 5 years too late, but I finally had a look. This library
just about compressing or uncompressing one file.

What I'd need, is a C source code that can look in a .jar file, and can
tell what's in it (just a directory + file list).

Thanks, I had a short look at the text files. I was even able to compile
it (on the first attempt!) and get unzip.exe. When I have more time I'll
try to isolate what I need (I have to chose from 21 source files).
Thanks again!

I've now made a change as described in the paragraph above. Better late
than never. I also fixed some minor bugs in that dialogbox (the "delete"
and "inactive" controls weren't disabled and reset when needed). Sorry
for waiting so long for something so easy and useful.

And no, you still can't save your settings in a "project file" or
similar as explained in your mail from 4 Jan 2010. But I'll keep that
mail.

This was really huge. I think that I found something small:

And I also made a new beta that can work with a class in an APPLET

I just joined the group. I only recently found out about Xenu Link Sleuth which
I understand have received very good reviews and intend to publish a post at my
blog
http://www.bloggertipsandtricks.com
to alert bloggers of this wonderful free software. Any suggestions as to what I
should include in the post?

This web page
http://www.aotc.net/Chronology.htm

has this HTML

<meta content="text/html; charset=unicode" http-equiv="Content-Type">

My software / Windows considers "unicode" to be CP1200, which would be
fixed 16bit characters, but the page is obviously made of 8 bit
characters.

Firefox claims that it is ISO-8859-1. ("show page properties")


is the statement charset=unicode correct, does it make any sense?

Does firefox assume ISO-8859-1 because unicode does not make any sense?
