for this topic supports the latest PTF levels for HTTP Server for i5/OS .
|
|
It is recommended that you install the latest PTFs to upgrade to the latest
|
|
level of the HTTP Server for i5/OS. Some of the topics documented here are
|
|
not available prior to this update. See <a href="http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/software/http/services/service.html" target="_blank">http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/software/http/services/service.htm</a> <img src="www.gif" alt="Link outside Information Center" /> for more information. </div>

|
<p>A Web crawler is a program that finds a URL on another Web server. A "crawl"
|
|
is the Web crawler program following links within Web pages and downloading
|
|
HTML and text pages it finds. The Web crawler downloads files to your local
|
|
directory, and creates a document list. The document list and the files can
|
|
then be used to create a search index. The search results will link to the
|
|
actual URL that was found during the crawl. </p>
|
|
<div class="attention"><span class="attentiontitle">Attention:</span> The Web crawler downloads text and
|
|
HTML files to your iSeries™. The iSeries checks if sufficient memory
|
|
is available for a successful Web crawl, but it will not check for available
|
|
storage.</div>
|
|
<p>To crawl a Web site, you must specify attributes such as the document storage
|
|
directory, the URL to crawl, and so on. Alternately, you may start a crawl
|
|
using a URL and options object that you have already created using other forms.
|
|
A URL object contains a list of URLs. An options object contains crawling
|
|
attributes, such as the proxy server to use for each crawling session. </p>
|
|
<p>Some sites cannot be entered without some sort of authentication, such
|
|
as a userid and password, or certificate authentication. The web crawler has
|
|
the capacity to handle either case as long as you do the required set up.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>For a site requiring a userid and password, you must create a validation
|
|
list object, entering the URL, userid, and password. See <a href="rzaievallstsrch.htm">Set up validation lists for the Webserver search engine on HTTP Server</a> for more information. Then be sure to enter the validation
|
|
list object when you start crawling. See the <a href="../rzahu/rzahurzahu4abunderstanddc.htm">digital server certificate</a> information on
|
|
how to obtain certificate authentication. The digital certificate manager
|
|
can be used to obtain a new, or register an existing, certificate for any
|
|
secure server instance of the IBM<sup>®</sup> HTTP Server. </p>
|
|
<p>Building a document list by crawling Web sites always runs as a background
|
|
task and will take several minutes, at a minimum, to run, depending on the
|
|
maximum time you selected for the session to run, as well as other attributes
|
|
you have specified. </p>
|
|
<p>See <a href="rzaiedoclstsrch.htm#crawl">Build the document list by crawling a URL</a> for information
|
|
on how to use the Web crawler with the <span>IBM Web Administration for i5/OS™ interface</span>.</p>
