- Timeout
If the check of a single bookmark takes longer then the specified number of seconds, the check is aborted.
- Max. download-size
If the downloaded size of a page is larger than this specified value, WebSite-Watcher will display a warning message in the status column. It is only an info message which won't abort the check.
The advanced connection rules offers the possibility to limit the number of simultaneous connections to specified servers or URLs.
The pause between checks can be used if a server allows for example only two requests per minute (the search feature in forums often have such a limitation against automated hack attacks).
Advanced connection rules and Check-Macros:
URLs within macros are not recognized, this functionality is based on the fields "URL" and "Alternative URL". If an alternative URL is entered, then this field is used, URL otherwise.
- Accept-Language
Lets you configure the Accept-Language entry in the HTTP header for the bookmark check (default value is en).
For more information about this configuration search the web for "HTTP Accept-Language".
