Folks, I have configured wwwoffle to work across an intermittent UUCP transport. This is for schools in South Africa, where I am configuring them to use cheap overnight dialup for email and WWW access.
For WWW access, they have wwwoffle on the LAN - in offline mode. At dialup time, I tar up all the outgoing requests, and pass them over to my well-connected box, untarring the requests into the outgoing folder. I perform the fetch, make a note of all the files downloaded, tar up those files, and when the school calls again in the morning I pass the results back to back-fill the school cache. All works great - Thanks !! However, I would like to limit the size of the scrape - in case things get out of hand, with heavily recursive scrapes or ftp directories. I could put a time limit on the scrape - killing wwwoffle if it runs too long, but ideally I would like it to be a config option. Would this be hard to add ? Cheers, Andy!
