Profile settings


From the menu, choose Settings|Profile Settings. The various settings are explained below. These settings are specific to the current profile you are using.

Use Browser
Allows you to choose the type of engine used to download web pages.
Use Internet Explorer for normal browsing. It will use the IE cache and coockie mechanisms. 
Use internal browser when you want to use basic autentication. Internet Explorer does not support that in HH. The internal browser does not use internal cache, so it might be more accurate (albeit slower).
Beware that using a different browser can yield different html (do a source preview to find out).

Use POST method to query servers
For use with Internal Engine only. Instead of getting data via the http GET method, this is done by a POST. Sometimes this is the only way to get to secured pages.

Basic authentication
If the web page requires authentication, fill in thed user name and password here.

Compare string case sensitive
Compare strings case sensitive. For example: td doesn't match TD, only TD matches TD.

Ignore line feed character
The line feed character (#10) is ignored in extracting text. In effect, it is removed from every downloaded web page. Best left enabled.

Ignore carriage return character
The carriage return character (#13) is ignored in extracting text. In effect, it is removed from every downloaded web page. Best left enabled.
 

Ignore tab character
The tab character (#8) is ignored in extracting text. In effect, it is removed from every downloaded web page. Best left enabled.

Remove HTML characters from harvested results
The HTML is removed from results. So, <font color=red>a red text</font> will yield a red text.

Convert HTML characters to ASCII characters
Converts HTML chars to ASCII. For example, &quot; will yield ", &nbsp; will yield a space.

Clean up empty rows after harvesting
Removes rows without any data from the data grid. Sometimes empty rows are left by the Advanced Mode rule engine; enabling this removes them.

Autosize cells after harvesting
Cells in the data grid are scaled to accomodate the information they contain. Right mouse click above the data grid to make manual adjustments.
