Help STANDARD SETTINGS Source: Whether you are fetching locally (a page on this C5 server) or remotely (any other server). Note: Local URLs are fetched as http://$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']/[VALUE ENTERED] URL: The relative (local) or absolute (remote) url to cURL fetch. Rewrite Links: Rewrite all relative links, including scripts, forms, images, areas, inputs to include the scheme and host of the requested URL. ADVANCED SETTINGS XPath Parser: To include a div or node use an XPath query expression, e.g. "*/div[@id='gbar']" (no quotes) fetches just the div with id='gbar' Cache Interval: Life of the cache, to be renewed every X minutes|hours|days with another request. 0 caches forever after initial request. cURL Options: Pass argument pairs as cURL_OPTS, e.g. CURLOPT_REFERER => "http://ace4it.com/in_curl",CURLOPT_USERAGENT=> "MyInCurl" GENERAL NOTES
