The Crawler
Options tab
provides a
number of
options for how
the tool will
spider the
site. When
testing a site,
you can choose
to crawl that
site and all
links leaving
from it.
Additionally,
you can then
test the sites
found by
crawling off the
first site. You
can also crawl
smaller pieces
of a much larger
site. You can
select to
validate
bookmark links
and you can
modify Time-out
settings. |

The Exclusions
tab allows you
to exclude pages
and files, based
on a directory
list. This
gives complete
control over the
whole crawl.
The tool can
also be
configured to
honor the site's
robot.txt file,
if one exists. |

Templates can be
used to generate
the HTML
Report. This
allows you to
create the
report in your
own style, such
as with a
certain style
sheet or logo in
the corner.
Additionally,
for the HTML
report that can
be created, you
can decide what
to include in
the report. You
can also change
how the HTML
results are
grouped. |

Optional
Security
Settings can be
configured for
HTTPS sites.
When crawling
secure sites
using the HTTPS
protocol, the
crawler by
default is set
to be in maximum
security mode.
For example, if
the server
certificate date
has expired for
the web you are
crawling, then
the Link
Validation
Utility will not
crawl the site
using the most
restrictive
security
settings.
Depending on the
site you are
crawling and
your specific
needs, you may
loosen security
to allow the
crawler to crawl
the site. Check
the appropriate
checkboxes in
the form to
loosen security
for those
particular
options. |

Properties form
allows the user
to view a number
of different
properties for a
selected URL.
- URL: This
is the URL
that was
tested.
-
Description:
In most cases,
this will be
the title of
the page that
is tested, but
in other
cases, another
annotation
will be used
for those
files that do
not have a
title.
- Content
Type: The
content value
shows whether
the linked
page is of
HTML style, or
application,
such as an
Acrobat or

if the

some other

- Size: This
value shows
the size of
the file in
bytes.
- Last
