Support for SSL connections has been added to the <fetch> and
<submit> functions in Vortex. This will allow users to crawl
https links in addition to the standard http, as well as submit forms
to secure servers.
Webinator can now crawl and index multiple protocols, including
http:, https:, ftp: and more within a single crawl. Webinator 4.2 also
adds the ability to perform proxy authentication for those walks
requiring it.
Texis has the ability to efficiently query based on longitude and
latitude. To do so you need to add an additional field to your table
to hold the value created by the function in
Vortex. The field needs to be a LONG.
The most common use for this field when searching is to find records
which have a location near another one. The search is done using
BETWEEN (CODE1,CODE2)
in the SQL statement. An example
snippet of Vortex code:
<geo2code $latitude $longitude 23000> <!-- +/- 2.5 degrees -->
<SQL "select Name from city where GeoCode between " $ret>
$Name
</SQL>
