Windows Desktop AP to Return HTML from a list of URLs
Budget: $100 – $200 USD
1. I browse to a directory that contains only text files, each containing a list of URLs.
2. For each text file:
3. For each URL in that text file:
4. Access the HTML that would be created if I connected to that URL. This contains all of the text that would be displayed and the HTML defining links and forms that are displayed.
5. Save the HTML in a text file in the same directory (1) with a name that is the name of the text file (2) with a period appended and the sequential number of the URL (3) within the file (2) appended to that.
6. If the URL is not available/does not exist or it is detected that the HTML is not being returned (e.g. the same result for 3 HTML files in a row), it will stop processing the current file (2) and continue with the next file.
7. After it finishes (2) it creates an empty text file in the directory (1) with the name FINISHED.txt that does not already exist.
8. If I need a Captcha Solving Service then set it up and I will make the payments to them.
9. One week of support: bug fixes and questions answered (the clock stops while I am waiting for a reply.)
10. One page of programmer documentation explaining how the ap works.
11. Milestones: 10% to get started. 50% after demonstration video using my set of text files then delivery of the ap. 40% after the support period ends.
12. Suggest any enhancement to these specifications that might be useful.
The attached file would be broken into 6 separate text files, one for each domain.
FIRST: Tell me how you would implement this.
