First off the taglib is called scrape. It makes an http connection to a named site and then using regular expressions it grabs a portion and displays it in the users own jsp page. It understands the http headers lastmodified and expired, and it uses these along with a time limit to determine if it needs to go and rescrape the page of if it can use a cached version. This way it is not banging on the servers all of the time and it speeds up the page when it is requested. I have a few questions though, the taglib uses an HTTPClient package that is licensed under the GNU LGPL. I wanted to ask those who are licenseing gurus, what form should I include this package in: just a jar file containg the class files, copyright and license, the whole package, or in some other form. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Rich Catlett rich@more.net | Confuscious say "Man who stand | student programmer | on toilet, high on pot!" | | | ---------------------------------------------------------------------
