I have just sent to Rob the first release of the off-line browser I am
developing in Euphoria.
It is based around wininet.dll so you will need this on your computer to
use WebShepherd.
This release is very crude as all it downloads is single URLs and
doesn't parse these for frames or images. In effect this is the core
engine for the subsequent developments.
Features I hope to add to future versions are:-
- Parsing of files for frames and images
- Saving list of URLs to be downloaded
- Parsing files for links and downloading links set by the user
- Multi socket downloads
- Only downloading modified files
I would welcome any bug reports or comments.

Wow! All I ask is that I type in an URL, it saves the HTML as a sequence=
(OR ANY FILE AS A SEQUENCE!). Preferably connecting and disconnecting. =
Wow, I'm getting on to something here. I type in a URL, it retrieves it,=
and go from here. Can it do this much?

It initially stores the downloaded HTML or whatever file in a sequence
before it then saves the file to the hard disk.

It will automatically connect but disconnection needs to be done by the
user. I will set disconnection as an option in a future version.

Yep, that's what it does at the moment but doesn't follow links or parse
for images or frames.
