Help
- URL:
- The URL to be fetched. You can omit the
method. Example: http://my.server.com/ or my.server.com lead to the same result.
- Imitate:
- Fetch Page can imitate a lot of browsers. The
HTTP header field "user-agent" is used to set these browser types. If you select the
option '---' Fetch Page uses its own user agent type.
- MIME type:
- A browser can accept
specific content types, i.e. MIME types. It uses
the HTTP header field "accept" to send this information to the
web server. Fetch Page can be set to accept the MIME types for HDML,
HTML, WML, XHTML and XML
- HTTP GET / HTTP HEAD / HTTP POST
- You can either send an HTTP GET, HEAD or POST
request from WebCab.de's server to your server (URL above) using Fetch Page.
- URLencoded Content String
- If you use the HTTP method POST you can
specify the URLencoded content string that Fetch Page sends to your server (URL above).
All characters that are not allowed in a URL need to be encoded according to RFC 1738.
This content string will be sent to your server with the content type
application/x-www-form-urlencoded. Example: foo=bar%20test&foo2=bar2
Fetch Page does not support the content type multipart/form-data.
- Without Redirection
- Fetch Page can directly follow the redirection
information which the server sends. If the server sends the HTTP response code 301 or 302
together with the HTTP header "Location" Fetch Page processes these information
so that it may actually send several different requests. If you select this option Fetch
Page will only send a single request.
- Basic Authorization
- A complete server, a directory or a file on a
server might be access protected by an account. If Fetch Page sends an HTTP request to
such a server without the account the server will respond with the code 401 which means
"Unauthorized". Then you need to provide the account consisting of the user name
and the password. Fetch Page automatically fills in the input fields "Network
Location" and "Realm" taking the information from the server into account.
- Well-Formedness Check
- If a page is formated in an XML-based
language like WML 1.1 or XHTML then you can check the well-formedness of this page with
Fetch Page. If a page is well formed then the syntax is correct. The DTD (document
type definition) will not be checked.
- Validity Check
- If a page is formated in an XML-based
language like WML 1.1 or XHTML then you can check the validity of this page with Fetch
Page. If a page is a valid XML document then it is well formed and the allowed
elements are in the right order (at least).
