Need a desktop application that does the following: - 1. Traverse a list of links on a webpage, visit the websites (follow the links) and obtain the title, and description (and other information) from the website, and write it to an xml (or sqlite database). 2. Post content automatically to websites running [login to view URL] and [login to view URL] software. 3. Post content automatically to websites running [login to view URL] content management software. ## Deliverables The program will. 1. Traverse a list of links on a webpage, visit the websites (follow the links) and grab the title, and description (and other information) from the website, and write it to an sqlite (embedded) database - see [login to view URL] 2. Post content automatically to [login to view URL] and [login to view URL] websites. 3. Post content automatically to pligg websites. (see [login to view URL]) The full details are as follows. Note that there will be one program developed to perform this fu nctionality in your target language of choice, not three separate programs. a) Details about 1 - Xml Project. I want a program to traverse a list of links on a webpage, visit the websites (follow the links) and grab the title, and description (and other information) from the website, and write it to an embedded sqlite database and xml file. It's using yahoo's siteexplorer (free). To see an example, go to http:/[login to view URL] and enter a domain When it has finished searching, click link under Inbound links, and you will be taken to yahoo. The program would have to go through all the links on this page (and go to the next page, etc) visiting each link in turn, grabbing the information from the page, and adding it to the xml. The program should simulate human use by pausing for a random period of time between get requests and not just try and execute as quickly as possible. The user should be able to specify the numbers of seconds to pause (a range) between each request and the program would pause for a random number within this range on each request. The program should be able to resume from a given point. b) Details about 2. scuttle sites. I operate some [login to view URL] websites. Actually I have purchased the script at [login to view URL] so your program would need to work with that. I want content to be automatically posted to these sites. I will have an xml file containing username/password for the user, and various fields containing the information to be posted. The program you develop (script or desktop application) should read this xml file and post to the website. Because I have multiple websites, the website to post to is recorded in the xml file. The program needs to maintain a status of posts (successful/failed) and be able to resume and re-post posts with errors, etc. Additionally there should be the facility of posting with delayed times, to have a delay from a few seconds to a few hours between posts, rather than just posting 1000 records in a lump. It should simulate real use of a website by posting over a period of time. Also the program should have the option to backdate some entries so all posts do not just start from today. On top of the functionality of reading the xml file, the program should also be able to manually post a single entry by having a simple interface allowing the user to enter the required fields and click submit and then the entry is posted. c) Details about 3 pligg websites I operate some pligg websites ([login to view URL]). I want content to be automatically posted to these sites. I will have an xml file containing username/password for the user, and various fields containing the information to be posted. The program you develop (script or desktop application) should read this xml file and post to the website. Because I have multiple websites, the website to post to is recorded in the xml file. The program needs to maintain a status of posts (successful/failed) and be able to resume and re-post posts with errors, etc. Additionally there should be the facility of posting with delayed times, to have a delay from a few seconds to a few hours between posts, rather than just posting 1000 records in a lump.
