Toot

Written by Alexandre Franke on 2024-12-11 at 11:36

~25 years ago, when I was still using Windows 98 SE and connecting to the Internet with a machine that would wake my mom up at night in the process, I used a tiny utility that would check whether my favorite websites had any changes. I think it was called whatsnew, or something similar. Before I go ahead and reinvent that wheel, is there any (linux) tool that already does that?

(I obviously know about RSS. I don’t make that website and it doesn’t have a feed.)

@afranke There is a Firefox extension for that: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/pageprobe/

Otherwise there is a plenty of web tools like OnWebPage, but mostly paid, not aware of anything open source.

@sesivany I was thinking of something that wouldn’t require a browser, like huginn that’s been suggested in another reply, but that extension is good to know as well. Thanks.

@afranke Télécharger la page, en faire un hash et voir si ça a changé ? bon ce que je raconte n'est pas une bonne idée. Mais je plussoie ton idée.

J'imagine un tableau de bord pour ma veille et ça m'indique par exemple si la page actu de tel ou tel site a bougé. (hors RSS)

@formidableinc oui, c’est ce genre de manip dont je parlais en parlant de réinventer la roue. 🙂

@formidableinc @afranke

Hum

Il y a probablement moyen de faire plus radical. Mais je suis (très) loin d'être un spécialiste.

Je tente une approche (avec un exemple basique) :

$ curl --head https://www.perdu.com/

HTTP/1.1 200 Connection established

HTTP/2 200

date: Thu, 12 Dec 2024 07:50:33 GMT

content-type: text/html

last-modified: Thu, 02 Jun 2016 06:01:08 GMT

[…]

• garder trace de la date (en-tête « last-modified ») et la comparer à nouveau + tard

Pas du tout sûr de cette stratégie…

Ah bonne question @benoitb ... En première lecture je vois que ce header n'est pas obligatoire, et du coup la question est "sur quoi se base le serveur pour donner une heure".

A creuser !

@diesch nice. Seems more lightweight than huginn (which was suggested in another reply). Thanks!
