Supported tag/attribute pairs
Scheduled update supports the following tag/attribute pairs when performing recursive URL updates:
•
<a href=“ ”>
•
<img src=“ ”>
•
<img href=“ ”>
•
<body background=“ ”>
•
<frame src=“ ”>
•
<iframe src=“ ”>
•
<fig src=“ ”>
•
<overlay src=“ ”>
•
<applet code=“ ”>
•
<script src=“ ”>
•
<embed src=“ ”>
•
<bgsound src=“ ”>
•
<area href=“ ”>
•
<base href=“ ”>
•
<meta content=“ ”>
While scheduled update is designed to operate on URL sets consisting of hundreds of input URLs (expanded
to thousands when recursive URLs are included), it is not intended to operate on massively large URL sets,
such as those used by Internet crawlers, for example.
Format
Each line in the
update.config
file uses the following format:
URL\Request_headers\Offset_hour\Interval\Recursion_depth\
NOTE
Always use the Content Management page to modify settings in the
update.config
file instead of modifying the file directly using a text editor. This is recommended
because certain fields contain special characters, such as <CR><LF>. In addition, the
Content Management page automatically notifies Traffic Server when changes are
made. If you do modify the
update.config
file directly, you must manually stop and
restart the Traffic Server process.
