| Subject: | Patch for Enhancements - New Options for Object and A New Method |
I've added a few more options that one can pass to the object when
instantiating WWW::Spyder. Most notably, I added an option that allows
one to pass in an instantiated LWP::UserAgent object to WWW::Spyder,
like so:
my $start_url = 'http://www.existforever.com';
# Inherits a LWP::UserAgent object so it should work in its place.
my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new(autocheck => 0);
...
my $spyder = WWW::Spyder->new(
disable_cnap => 1,
image_checking => 1,
report_broken_links => 1,
seed => $start_url,
sleep_base => 0,
UA => $mech
);
Other options include:
disable_cnap => Disables the courtesy nap when verbose output is
enabled.
image_checking => Verifies the images pointed to by <img src=...>
tags.
report_broken_links => If set to 1, broken links will be kept track
of.
I also added a get_broken_links() method that will return a reference
to an array of strings representing broken links. 'report_broken_links'
must be turned on in order for get_broken_links() to return anything.
These changes have helped us automate the testing of our webui
product and should prove useful for others as well. You can reach me,
