Advanced Connection Rules

The advanced connection rules offer the possibility to limit the number of simultaneous connections to specific servers or URLs. If the URL field is enclosed in quotation marks, it is treated as a top-level domain, for example "domain.com".

"Pause between checks" can be used if a server allows, for example, only two requests per minute. The search feature in forums often has such a limitation to prevent automated attacks.

Rules displayed in blue are fixed rules that are automatically created by WebSite-Watcher. You can increase the limits for these fixed rules via Tweaks, but you cannot remove them.

Advanced connection rules and Check-Macros:

URLs within macros are not recognized. This functionality is based on the Bookmark fields "URL" and "Alternative URL". If an alternative URL is entered, this field is used, otherwise the URL field is used.

  Lets you configure the Accept-Language entry in the HTTP header, the default value is en.
