|
37
|

This script monitors webpages, rss feeds, podcasts etc. and reports
|
5
|
+
what's new. For many tasks, it reuses other programs to do the actual
|
6
|
+
work. By default, it works on an ASCII basis, i.e. with the output of
|
7
|
+
text-based webbrowsers. With the help of some friends, it can also work
|
8
|
+
with HTML.

== DESCRIPTION:
|
12
|
+
websitary (formerly known as websitiary with an extra "i") monitors
|
13
|
+
webpages, rss feeds, podcasts etc. It reuses other programs (w3m, diff,
|
14
|
+
webdiff etc.) to do most of the actual work. By default, it works on an
|
15
|
+
ASCII basis, i.e. with the output of text-based webbrowsers like w3m (or
|
16
|
+
lynx, links etc.) as the output can easily be post-processed. With the
|
17
|
+
help of some friends (see the section below on requirements), it can
|
18
|
+
also work with HTML. E.g., if you have websec installed, you can also
|
19
|
+
use its webdiff program to show colored diffs. This script was
|
20
|
+
originally planned as a ruby-based websec replacement. For HTML diffs,
|
21
|
+
it stills relies on the webdiff perl script that comes with websec.
|
22
|
+
|
23
|
+
By default, this script will use w3m to dump HTML pages and then run
|
24
|
+
diff over the current page and the previous backup. Some pages are
|
25
|
+
better viewed with lynx or links. Downloaded documents (HTML or ASCII)
|
26
|
+
can be post-processed (e.g., filtered through some ruby block that
|
27
|
+
extracts elements via hpricot and the like). Please see the
|
28
|
+
configuration options below to find out how to change this globally or
|
29
|
+
for a single source.
|
30
|
+
|
31
|
+
|
32
|
+
== FEATURES/PROBLEMS:
|
33
|
+
* Handle webpages, rss feeds (optionally save attachments in podcasts
|
34
|
+
etc.)
|
35
|
+
* Compare webpages with previous backups
|
36
|
+
* Display differences between the current version and the backup
|
37
|
+
* Provide hooks to post-process the downloaded documents and the diff
|
38
|
+
* Display a one-page report summarizing all news
|
39
|
+
* Automatically open the report in your favourite web-browser
|
40
|
+
* Experimental: Download webpages on defined intervalls and generate
|
41
|
+
incremental diffs.
|
42
|
+
|
43
|
+
ISSUES, TODO:
|
44
|
+
* With HTML output, changes are presented on one single page, which
|
45
|
+
means that pages with different encodings cause problems.
|
46
|
+
* Improved support for robots.txt (test it)
|
47
|
+
* The use of :website_below and :website is hardly tested (please
|
48
|
+
report errors).
|
49
|
+
* download => :body_html tries to rewrite references (a, img) which may
|
50
|
+
fail on certain kind of urls (please report errors).
|
51
|
+
* When using :body_html for download, it may happen that some
|
52
|
+
JavaScript code is stripped, which breaks some JavaScript-generated
|
53
|
+
links.
|
54
|
+
* The --log command line will create a new instance of the logger and
|
55
|
+
thus reset any previous options related to the logging level.
|
56
|
+
|
57
|
+
NOTE: The script was previously called websitiary but was renamed (from
|
58
|
+
0.2 on) to websitary (without the superfluous i).
|
59
|
+
|
60
|
+
|
61
|
+
=== CAVEAT:
|
62
|
+
The script also includes experimental support for monitoring whole
|
63
|
+
websites. Basically, this script supports robots.txt directives (see
|
64
|
+
requirements) but this is hardly tested and may not work in some cases.
|
65
|
+
|
66
|
+
While it is okay for your own websites to ignore robots.txt, it is not
|
67
|
+
for others. Please make sure that the webpages you run this program on
|
68
|
+
allow such a use. Some webpages disallow the use of any automatic
|
69
|
+
downloader or offline reader in their user agreements.

|
+
|
241
|
+
<tt>:depth => INTEGER</tt>::
|
242
|
+
In conjunction with a :website type of :download option, fetch url up
|
243
|
+
to this depth.
|
244
|
+
|
245
|
+
<tt>:diff => "CMD", :diff => SHORTCUT</tt>::
|
246
|
+
Use this command to make the diff for this page. Possible values for
|
247
|
+
SHORTCUT are: :webdiff (useful in conjunction with :download => :curl,
|
248
|
+
:wget, or :body_html). :body_html, :website_below, :website and
|
249
|
+
:openuri are synonyms for :webdiff.
|
250
|
+
|
251
|
+
<tt>:diffprocess => lambda {|text| ...}</tt>::
|
252
|
+
Use this ruby snippet to post-process this diff
|
253
|
+
|
254
|
+
<tt>:download => "CMD", :download => SHORTCUT</tt>::
|
255
|
+
Use this command to download this page. For possible values for
|
256
|
+
SHORTCUT see the section on shortcuts below.
|
257
|
+
|
258
|
+
<tt>:downloadprocess => lambda {|text| ...}</tt>::
|
259
|
+
Use this ruby snippet to post-process what was downloaded. This is the
|
260
|
+
place where, e.g., hpricot can be used to extract certain elements
|
261
|
+
from the HTML code.
|
262
|
+
Example:
|
263
|
+
lambda {|text| Hpricot(text).at('div#content').inner_html}
|
264
|
+
|
265
|
+
<tt>:format => "FORMAT %s STRING", :format => SHORTCUT</tt>::
|
266
|
+
The format string for the diff text. The default (the :diff shortcut)
|
267
|
+
wraps the output in +pre+ tags. :webdiff, :body_html, :website_below,
|
268
|
+

|
+
|
286
|
+
<tt>:ignore_age => true</tt>::

|
288
|
+
when set on the command line.
|
289
|
+
|
290
|
+
<tt>:lines => FROM..TO</tt>::
|
291
|
+
Use only these lines from the output
|
292
|
+
|
293

<tt>:rss_enclosure => true|"DIRECTORY"</tt>::
|
302
|
+
If true, save rss feed enclosures in

|
327
|
+
:diff => :webdiff</tt> can be abbreviated as <tt>:use =>
|
328
|
+
:body_html</tt> (because for :diff :body_html is a synonym for
|
329
|
+
:webdiff).
|
330
|
+
|
331
|
+
The order of age constraints is:

|
338
|
+
%s will be replaced with the filename.
|
339
|
+
|
340
|
+
w3m is used by default.

|
350
|
+
=== Shortcuts for use with :use, :download and other options
|
351
|
+
<tt>:w3m</tt>::
|
352
|
+
Use w3m for downloading the source. Use diff for generating diffs.
|
353
|
+
|
354
|
+
<tt>:lynx</tt>::
|
355
|
+
Use lynx for downloading the source. Use diff for generating diffs.
|
356
|
+
Lynx doesn't try to recreate the layout of a page like w3m or links
|
357
|
+
do. As a result the output IMHO sometimes deviates from the original
|
358
|
+
design but is better suited for being post-processed in some
|
359
|
+
situation.
|
360
|
+
|
361
|
+
<tt>:links</tt>::
|
362
|
+
Use links for downloading the source. Use diff for generating diffs.
|
363
|
+
|
364
|
+
<tt>:curl</tt>::
|
365
|
+
Use curl for downloading the source. Use webdiff for generating diffs.
|
366
|
+
|
367
|
+
<tt>:wget</tt>::
|
368
|
+
Use wget for downloading the source. Use webdiff for generating diffs.
|
369
|
+
|
370
|
+
<tt>:openuri</tt>::
|
371
|
+
Use open-uri for downloading the source. Use webdiff for generating
|
372
|
+
diffs. This doesn't handle cookies and the like.
|
373
|
+
|
374
|
+
<tt>:text</tt>::
|
375
|
+
This requires hpricot to be installed. Use open-uri for downloading
|
376
|
+
and hpricot for converting HTML to plain text. This still requires
|
377
|
+
diff as external helper.
|
378
|
+
|
379
|
+
<tt>:body_html</tt>::
|
380
|
+
This requires hpricot to be installed. Use open-uri for downloading
|
381
|
+
the source, use only the body. Use webdiff for generating diffs. Try
|
382
|
+
to rewrite references (a, img) so that the point to the webpage. By
|
383
|
+
default, this will also strip tags like script, form, object ...
|
384
|
+
|
385
|
+
<tt>:website</tt>::
|
386
|
+
Use :body_html to download the source. Follow all links referring to
|
387
|
+
the same host with the same file suffix. Use webdiff for generating
|
388
|
+
diff.
|
389
|
+
|
390
|
+
<tt>:website_below</tt>::
|
391
|
+
Use :body_html to download the source. Follow all links referring to
|
392
|
+
the same host and a file below the top directory with the same file
|
393
|
+
suffix. Use webdiff for generating diff.
|
394
|
+
|
395
|
+
<tt>:website_txt</tt>::
|
396
|
+
Use :website to download the source but convert the output to plain
|
397
|
+
text.
|
398
|
+
|
399
|
+
<tt>:website_txt_below</tt>::
|
400
|
+
Use :website_below to download the source but convert the output to
|
401
|
+
plain text.
|
402
|
+
|
403
|
+
<tt>:rss</tt>::
|
404
|
+
Download an rss feed, show changed items.
|
405
|
+
|
406
|
+
<tt>:opml</tt>::
|
407
|
+
Experimental. Download the rss feeds registered in opml. No support
|
408
|
+
for atom yet.
|
409
|
+
|
410
|
+
<tt>:img</tt>::
|
411
|
+
Download an image and display it in the output if it has changed
|
412
|
+
(according to diff). You can use hpricot to extract an image from a
|
413
|
+
HTML source. Example:
|
414
|
+
|
415
|
+
Any shortcuts relying on :body_html will also try to rewrite any
|
416
|
+
references so that the links point to the webpage.
|
417

=== Commands for use with the -e command-line option
|
517
|
+
Most of these commands require you to name a profile on the command
|
518
|
+
line. You can define default profiles with the "default" configuration
|
519
|
+
command.
|
520
|
+
|
521
|
+
If no command is given, "downdiff" is executed.
|
522
|
+
|
523
|
+
add::
|
524
|
+
Add the URLs given on the command line to the quicklist profile.
|
525
|
+
ATTENTION: The following arguments on the command line are URLs, not
|
526
|
+
profile names.
|
527
|
+
|
528
|
+
aggregate::
|
529
|
+
Retrieve information and save changes for later review.
|
530
|
+
|
531
|
+
configuration::
|
532
|
+
Show the fully qualified configuration of each source.
|
533
|
+
|
534
|
+
downdiff::
|
535
|
+
Download and show differences (DEFAULT)
|
536
|
+
|
537
|
+
edit::
|
538
|
+
Edit the profile given on the command line (use vi by default)
|
539
|
+
|
540
|
+
latest::
|
541
|
+
Show the latest copies of the sources from the profiles given
|
542
|
+
on the command line.

|
549
|
+
|
550
|
+
show::
|
551
|
+
Show previously aggregated items. A typical use would be to
|
552
|
+
periodically run in the background a command like
|
553
|
+
websitary -eaggregate newsfeeds
|
554
|
+
and then
|
555
|
+
websitary -eshow newsfeeds
|
556
|
+
to review the changes.
|
557
|
+
|
558
|
+
unroll::
|
559
|
+
Undo the latest fetch.

== TIPS:
|
564
|
+
=== Ruby
|
565
|
+
The profiles are regular ruby sources that are evaluated in the context
|
566
|
+
of the configuration object (Websitary::Configuration). Find out more
|
567
|
+
about ruby at:
|
568
|
+
* http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/documentation/
|
569
|
+
* http://www.ruby-doc.org/docs/ProgrammingRuby/ (especially
|
570
|
+
the
|
571
|
+
language[http://www.ruby-doc.org/docs/ProgrammingRuby/html/language.html]
|
572
|
+
chapter)
|
573
|
+
|
574
|
+
|
575
|
+
=== Cygwin
|
576
|
+
Mixing native Windows apps and cygwin apps can cause problems. The
|
577
|
+
following settings (e.g. in ~/.websitary/config.rb) can be used to use
|
578
|
+
a native Windows editor and browser:
|
579
|
+
|
580
|
+
# Use the default Windows programs (as if double-clicked)
|
581
|
+
view '/usr/bin/cygstart "%s"'
|
582
|
+
|
583
|
+
# Translate the profile filename and edit it with a native Windows editor
|
584
|
+
edit 'notepad.exe $(cygpath -w -- "%s")'
|
585
|
+
|
586
|
+
# Rewrite cygwin filenames for use with a native Windows browser
|
587
|
+
option :global, :file_url => lambda {|f| f.sub(/\/cygdrive\/.+?\/.websitary\//, '')}
|
588
|
+
|
589
|
+
|
590
|
+
=== Windows
|
591
|
+
Backslashes usually have to be escaped by backslashes -- or use slashes.
|
592
|
+
I.e. instead of 'c:\foo\bar' write either 'c:\\foo\\bar' or
|
593
|
+
'c:/foo/bar'.
|
594
|
+
|
595
|
+
|
596
|
+
== REQUIREMENTS:
|
597
|
+
websitary is a ruby-based application. You thus need a ruby
|
598
|
+
interpreter.
|
599
|
+
|
600
|
+
It depends on how you use websitary whether you actually need the
|
601
|
+
following libraries, applications.
|
602
|
+
|
603
|
+
By default this script expects the following applications to be
|
604
|
+
present:
|
605
|
+
|
606
|
+
* diff
|
607
|
+
* vi (or some other editor)
|
608
|
+
|
609
|
+
and one of:
|
610
|
+
|
611
|
+
* w3m[http://w3m.sourceforge.net/] (default)
|
612
|
+
* lynx[http://lynx.isc.org/]
|
613
|
+
* links[http://links.twibright.com/]
|
614
|
+
* websec[http://baruch.ev-en.org/proj/websec/]
|
615
|
+
(or at Savannah[http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/websec/])
|
616
|
+
|
617
|
+
The use of :webdiff as :diff application requires
|
618
|
+
websec[http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/websec/] to be
|
619
|
+
installed. In conjunction with :body_html, :openuri, or :curl, this
|
620
|
+
will give you colored HTML diffs.
|
621
|
+
Why not use +websec+ if I have to install it, you might ask. Well,
|
622
|
+
+websec+ is written in perl and I didn't quite manage to make it work
|
623
|
+
the way I want it to. websitary is made to be better to configure.
|
624
|
+
|
625
|
+
For downloading HTML, you need one of these:
|
626
|
+
|
627
|
+
* open-uri (should be part of ruby)
|
628
|
+
* hpricot[http://code.whytheluckystiff.net/hpricot] (used e.g. by
|
629
|
+
:body_html, :website, and :website_below)
|
630
|
+
* curl[http://curl.haxx.se/]
|
631
|
+
* wget[http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/]
|
632
|
+
|
633
|
+
The following ruby libraries are needed in conjunction with :body_html
|
634
|
+
and :website related shortcuts:
|
635
|
+
|
636
|
+
* hpricot[http://code.whytheluckystiff.net/hpricot] (parse HTML, use
|
637
|
+
only the body etc.)
|
638
|
+
* robot_rules.rb[http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/177589]
|
639
|
+
for parsing robots.txt
|
640
|
+
|
641
|
+
I personally would suggest to choose the following setup:
|
642
|
+
|
643
|
+
* w3m[http://w3m.sourceforge.net/]
|
644
|
+
* websec[http://baruch.ev-en.org/proj/websec/]
|
645
|
+
* hpricot[http://code.whytheluckystiff.net/hpricot]
|
646
|
+
* robot_rules.rb[http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/177589]
|
647
|
+
|
648
|

|
+
== INSTALL:
|
650
|
+
=== Use rubygems
|
651
|
+
Run
|
652
|
+
|
653
|
+
gem install websitary
|
654
|
+
|
655
|
+
This will download the package and install it.
|
656
|
+
|
657
|
+
|
658
|
+
=== Use the zip
|
659
|
+
The zip[http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=4030] contains a file
|
660
|
+
setup.rb that does the work. Run
|
661
|
+
|
662
|
+
ruby setup.rb
|
663
|
+
|
664
|
+
|
665
|
+
=== Initial Configuration
|
666
|
+
Please check the requirements section above and get the extra libraries
|
667
|
+
needed:
|
668
|
+
* hpricot
|
669
|
+
* robot_rules.rb
|
670
|
+
|
671
|
+
These could be installed by:
|
672
|
+
|
673
|
+
# Install hpricot
|
674
|
+
gem install hpricot
|
675
|
+
|
676
|
+
# Install robot_rules.rb
|
677
|
+
curl http://www.rubyquiz.com/quiz64_sols.zip
|
678
|
+
# Check the correct path to site_ruby first!
|
679
|
+
unzip -p quiz64_sols.zip "solutions/James Edward Gray II/robot_rules.rb" > /lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/robot_rules.rb
|
680
|
+
rm quiz64_sols.zip
|
681
|
+
|
682
|
+
You might then want to create a profile ~/.websitary/config.rb that is
|
683
|
+
loaded on every run. In this profile you could set the default output
|
684
|
+
viewer and profile editor, as well as a default profile.
|
685
|
+
|
686
|
+
Example:
|
687
|
+
|
688
|
+
# Load standard.rb if no profile is given on the command line.
|
689
|
+
default 'standard'
|
690
|
+
|
691
|
+
# Use cygwin's cygstart to view the output with the default HTML
|
692
|
+
# viewer
|
693
|
+
view '/usr/bin/cygstart "%s"'
|
694
|
+
|
695
|
+
# Use Windows gvim from cygwin ruby which is why we convert the path
|
696
|
+
# first
|
697
|
+
edit 'gvim $(cygpath -w -- "%s")'
|
698
|
+
|
699
|
+
Where these configuration files reside, may differ. If the environment
|
700
|
+
variable $HOME is defined, the default is $HOME/.websitary/ unless one
|
701
|
+
of the following directories exist, which will then be used instead:
|
702
|
+
|
703
|
+
* $USERPROFILE/websitary (on Windows)
|
704
|
+
* SYSCONFDIR/websitary (where SYSCONFDIR usually is /etc but you can
|
705
|
+
run ruby to find out more:
|
706
|
+
<tt>ruby -e "p Config::CONFIG['sysconfdir']"</tt>)
|
707
|
+
|
708
|
+
If neither directory exists and no $HOME variable is defined, the
|
709
|
+
current directory will be used.
