Description

web_infos is a list of locations and files MLdonkey fetches on startup and then on a periodical basis. To trigger a reload of all entries use the force_web_infos command.

Use vwi to view, urladd to add and urlremove to remove entries.

Each entry in the list consists of the following 3 fields:

• Resource type

  Known resource kinds are: server.met', servers.met (synonym of server.met), guarding.p2p, rss, motd.html, motd.conf, comments.met, nodes.gzip, ocl, hublist

• update period

  period between two fetches of that resource, in hours

• URL

  url to fetch the resource from

In order for ServerList to be updated upon reception of new ones, MLdonkey and server list has to be set to true.

To change the update period you have kill the core and edit the web_infos entry in downloads.ini.

Scope

This option is stored in downloads.ini

Default value

web_infos = [
  ("guarding.p2p", 96, "http://upd.emule-security.org/ipfilter.zip");
  ("server.met", 0, "http://www.gruk.org/server.met.gz");

Discussion

1) Despite the fact that I have "guarding.p2p", "servers.met", "geoip.dat", etc. set up for fetching, I didn't notice it really being fetched. How do I make sure it has been?

Point your browser to http://mldonkey_core_ip:4080 select options look down for web infos and check if state is File Loaded. Alternatively, give the vwi command in the console (do telnet localhost 4000 to get into it).
