Pagecast Description

Submit lists of URLs to Internet search engines Pagecast is a free and open source command-line utility that will automatically submit lists of URLs (Uniform Resource Locators, i.e., web addresses) to Internet search engines such as AltaVista, Hotbot, Lycos, Excite, etc. These search engines will add the URLs to its queue for "spidering" -- it will in turn look up each URL (at a later time, usually) and add the pages contents to its database.Specifically, it is a Python language program that takes a line-separated list of URLs from a mail message (or optionally, standard input or a file) and submits them, one at a time, to different web search engines in a multithreaded fashion, and logs the results (either to a file or standard output, or both.)The only major search engine that Pagecast will not (yet) work with is Yahoo! This is due to the nature of Yahoo, which is not a traditional spider-style search engine but a directory maintained by humans, and submitting URLs is a (relatively) complex operation. Future versions of this program may support Yahoo's "suggest a site" page. Requirements: · Python What's New in This Release: · Patching last release with updated server modules.
