New "Media Type detection" section in the advanced crawl start page
allow to choose between :
- not loading URLs with unknown or unsupported file extension without
checking the actual Media Type (relying Content-Type header for now).
This was the old default behavior, faster, but not really accurate.
- always cross check URL file extension against the actual Media Type.
This lets properly parse URLs ending with an apparently odd file
extension, but which have actually a supported Media Type such as
text/html.
Sample URLs with misleading file extensions added as documentation in
the crawl start page.
fixes issue #244
Associate cached content to the last redirection location, instead of
the first URL of a redirection(s) chain :
- for proper base URL processing in parsers (fixes mantis 636 -
http://mantis.tokeek.de/view.php?id=636)
- to prevent duplicated content in Solr index when recrawling a
redirected URL
Required for proper operation when the default system locale is Turkish,
as dottless and dotted i characters have specific case conversion rules
in this language.
When a crawl is started, a new field to exclude content from scraping is
available. The field can be identified with the class name of div tags.
All text contained in such a div tag where the configured class name(s)
match are not indexed, while the remaining page is indexed.
Some web servers provide both 'Content-Encoding : "gzip"' and
'Content-Type : "application/x-gzip"' HTTP headers on their ".gz" files.
This was annoying to fail on such resources which are not so uncommon,
while non conforming (see RFC 7231 section 3.1.2.2 for
"Content-Encoding" header specification
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231#section-3.1.2.2)
Thus enable getpageinfo_p API to return something in a reasonable amount
of time on resources over MegaBytes size range.
Support added first with the generic XML parser, for other formats
regular crawler limits apply as usual.
Especially for Turkish speaking users using "tr" as their system default
locale : strings for technical stuff (URLs, tag names, constants...)
must not be lower cased with the default locale, as 'I' doesn't becomes
'i' like in other locales such as "en", but becomes 'ı'.
When using a public HTTP URL in /IndexImportMediawiki_p.html, the remote
file now is directly streamed and processed, allowing import of several
GB dumps even with a low memory remote peer, and without need to
manually download the dump file first.
following comment "use of properties as header values is discouraged"
in case where (proxy)HTTPClient overwrites values with supplied url.
Use defined request.referer procedure in response class.
- Above brought up that parser start url parameter, declared as AnchorURL uses only methodes of parent object DigestURL (changed parameter declaration accordingly).
to support the new time parser and search functions in YaCy a high
precision detection of date and time on the day is necessary. That
requires that the time zone of the document content and the time zone of
the user, doing a search, is detected. The time zone of the search
request is done automatically using the browsers time zone offset which
is delivered to the search request automatically and invisible to the
user. The time zone for the content of web pages cannot be detected
automatically and must be an attribute of crawl starts. The advanced
crawl start now provides an input field to set the time zone in minutes
as an offset number. All parsers must get a time zone offset passed, so
this required the change of the parser java api. A lot of other changes
had been made which corrects the wrong handling of dates in YaCy which
was to add a correction based on the time zone of the server. Now no
correction is added and all dates in YaCy are UTC/GMT time zone, a
normalized time zone for all peers.
given css class and extends a given vocabulary with a term consisting
with the text content of the html class tag. Additionally, the term is
included into the semantic facet of the document. This allows the
creation of faceted search to documents without the pre-creation of
vocabularies; instead, the vocabulary is created on-the-fly, possibly
for use in other crawls. If any of the term scraping for a specific
vocabulary is successful on a document, this vocabulary is excluded for
auto-annotation on the page.
To use this feature, do the following:
- create a vocabulary on /Vocabulary_p.html (if not existent)
- in /CrawlStartExpert.html you will now see the vocabularies as column
in a table. The second column provides text fields where you can name
the class of html entities where the literal of the corresponding
vocabulary shall be scraped out
- when doing a search, you will see the content of the scraped fields in
a navigation facet for the given vocabulary
parsing into individual pages and add them all using different URLs.
These constructed urls are generated from the source url with an
appended page=<pagenumber> attribute to the url get/post properties.
This will distinguish the different page entries. The search result list
will then replace the post parameter with a url anchor # mark which
causes that the original url is presented in the search result. These
URLs can be opened directly on the correct page using pdf.js which is
now built-in into firefox. That means: if you find a search hit on page
5 and click on the search result, firefox will open the pdf viewer and
shows page 5.
so viewed text and metadata (stored) info is similar
- to archive it, use request with profile to allow indexing (defaultglobaltext) and update index
(the resource is loaded, parsed anyway, so it's not a expensive operation)
Request: remove 2 unused init parameter
- number of anchors of the parent
- forkfactor sum of anchors of all ancestors
