Hi Guys,
As promised I did finish my work on Project Anaconda Scanner next version.
I already emailed a zip file to people who asked for it. Those people now
also know who I am in real life as I intentionally shipped the last version
using my actual Yahoo address.
Project Anaconda Scanner 1.1 the final version has many new features
Changes in version 1.1
----------------------
1. Fixed the scan date. There was a bug which caused the scan
date to be written out in a bad format. I know also read the
scan date from the input file and for approved applications this
date is written to the output file as approved applications are
not scanned again.
2. Proxies are now sorted by speed (rank)
3. Limited the number of cases scanned when not using proxy to 250
as TSC folks ran this without changing the useProxies flag and were
wondering what was happenning. Everybody must read the README
4. You can now set the user agent so that your scanner might appear
as IE or Netscape to USCIS site.
5. The httpunit code which fetches the data from website is now
isolated in to a class. So when USCIS changes their website this is
the only class that needs to be touched.
6. This version writes out the good and badworking proxies used in a scan
to a file so that you can use them in future scans.
7. Allows you to enable scanning of approved and transferred cases if the
need be. This is handled with configuration key.
8. Provides a script to run scanner on UNIX.
9. And the most important feature is the ability to run in an extended mode
where it also adds a column for last updated date to the report. This is
useful for last updated date tracking.
Both the versions of Project Aanconda Scanner can be downloaded at
http://briefcase.yahoo.com/desibartender
I will provide support for my programs over e-mail. I am very good about
doing that.
Today I got my passport stamped and that marks the end of a milestone.
I gotta move on to better things in life. This is it. This is the end of my end
of commitment. Please use the scanner sensibly and please do let me know
if you have problems.
Hope everybody gets their GC soon. Bye Bye and best of luck.
