• URL Title Say
  • Version: 005
  • Description: Parse through incoming lines for URLs, saying the titles of the url when available. Keep a list of channels to reply in, as well as URLs and Titles not to say.
  • Requires a newer Perl "threads" module. The version that comes with Perl 5.8 is not new enough, however the version distributed with Perl 5.10 is.
  • Requires LWP and YAML Perl Modules
  • Usage: /uts_loadconf reload the configuration from disk
  • Usage: /uts_listmanage <list name> (add|delete|list) [<string>]

  • List Name	Description
    channels_deny	Channels to never respond in
    channels_permit	If channels are specified, then only those channels specified will work
    nicks_deny	Nick names to never respond to
    nicks_permit	If nicks are specified, then only those nicks specified will be replied to
    patterns_ignore	if a URL matches one of these regex expressions, the title won't be fetched
    titles_ignore	if a resulting title matches one of these regex expressions, the title won't be displayed

    Example: /uts_listmanage patterns_ignore add \.(jpe?g|png|gif)$ - ignores all urls ending in .jpeg, .jpg, .png, and .gif, although this is covered by default
  • Usage: /uts_set <variable> [<string>]

  • Variable	Description
    message_format	Format of replies for urls
    counter_format	String used by {n} only when multiple urls are in the said line
    user_agent	String that is reported as the user agent when fetching URLs (blank uses LWP's default)
    self_call	Should lines you say also be checked for URLs (default is 0 or no)
