Description: Web Crawler / Spider I need a Web Crawler / Spider script coded in Perl or C++. The script will emulate numerous visitors surfing to certain specified pages within a given domain (i.e. activity1) and emulate a visitor searching with specified search phrases on a given domain (i.e. activity2). The frequency of the visits and the number activities per visit should be configurable. Each "visitor" session should contain a unique visitor ID that can be matched to the cookies assigned by the destination sites. I should be able to enter configuration XML parameters for the script for each emulated visitor: 0) Visitor ID 1) Pages (e.g., [login to view URL]) 2) Search phrases (e.g., "black jaguar") to try on a particular page (e.g., [login to view URL]) 3) Frequency of sessions per day for this visitor ID (e.g., 3) -- "Session" means a separate visit to the given domain (e.g., [login to view URL]) at least 30 min after the last activity on that domain 4) Number of page view activities per session, actual pages randomly selected from list of pages in (1) above (e.g., 5, where number is greater or less than count of pages in (1);if less visit same pages multiple times per sesssion) 5) Number of search activities per session, actual searches randomly selected from list of pages in (2) above (e.g., 5, where number is greater or less than count of searches in (2); if less, visit same pages multiple times per sesssion) Output from script should be a pipe "|" delimited log of: - Visitor ID - Session ID - Cookies assigned by website of visited domain - Actual Pages visited with timestamp - Actual Searches conducted with timestamp You may use any opensource code and code you have previously coded to cut the costs, as long as I get the complete rights to this script. If you already have something like this coded, please show me a demo.
