The siteconf: Site-specific preferences The siteconf consists of URL patterns and preferences associated to them. You can improve "decode_url" feature by giving charsets of URLs site by site, or bypass Google's redirector for performance and your privacy. The siteconf is read from ~/.w3m/siteconf by default. ===== The syntax ===== # comment url |//|m@@i [exact] substitute_url "" url_charset no_referer_from on|off no_referer_to on|off user_agent "string" The last match wins. Lines starting with a '#' are ignored. You can use this to annotate the entries. ===== Examples ===== # This forwards twitter.com to the alternative site. url m!^https?://([a-z]+\.)?twitter\.com/! substitute_url "https://nitter.net/" # This prevents HTTP referers from being sent when you follow links # at the your.bookmark.net. url "http://your.bookmark.net/" no_referer_from on # This forwards the Google's redirector to your local CGI. url "http://www.google.com/url?" exact substitute_url "file:///cgi-bin/your-redirector.cgi?" # When combinated with "decode_url" option turned on, links to # Wikipedia will be human-readable. url /^http:\/\/[a-z]*\.wikipedia\.org\// url_charset utf-8 # Tell Google we're actually Lynx. (So they send us a text-browser friendly # results page.) url m@^https?://(.*\.)google\.com/@ user_agent "Lynx/2.8.8dev.3 libwww-FM/2.14 SSL-MM/1.4.1" # Tell Twitter we're actually Googlebot. (So they send us a page without # rejection of a JavaScript disabled browser.) url m!^https?://([a-z]+\.)?twitter\.com/! user_agent "Googlebot/2.1" ===== Regular expressions notes ===== Following expressions are all equivalent: /http:\/\/www\.example\.com\// m/http:\/\/www\.example\.com\// m@http://www\.example\.com/@ m!http://www\.example\.com/! With a trailing 'i' modifier, you can specify a case-insensitive match. For example, m@^http://www\.example\.com/abc/@i matches to: http://www.example.com/abc/ http://www.example.com/Abc/ http://www.example.com/ABC/ Hostnames, however, are always converted to lowercases before compared.
