Sample predefined lounge

Using news site spiegel.de as test case for predefined lounges.

Topology tag

Introduced topology tag, like:

<topology level="domain"/>

<topology/> is informative only. It indicates at a user level how the mapping is configured for the location, be it one room per domain name, or one room per news article, etc.

Complete list of level-values:

• "multidomain": a room covers multiple domains or web sites
• "domain": a room for the top level internet domain
• "host": a room per host name
• "site": a room for the entire web site
• "category": a room per category of the web site
• "channel": a room per channel (e.g. a radio station's site)
• "thread": a room per thread (e.g. in a forum)
• "article": a room per article (e.g. a newspaper)
• "query": rooms are assigned depending on the URL-query
• "unique": each URL maps to a different room
• "language": a room per visitor language
• "selection": the room selection is on the web site
• "none": no room defined

Support https

Added s? to all configs

Hash for mail.yahoo.com, mail.live.com

Added hash="SHA1" to both records

Fixed mail.yahoo.com

yep

yahoo/live mail

Added mappings for mail.yahoo.com, mail.live.com.

Nirvana rule

Added nirvana mapping with ignore for all URLs unmapped by the default rule.

Toplevel domains only alpha

Restrict toplevel domains to a-zA-Z

Restored default delay

Re-enabled delay for default mapping.

Temporarily default delay 0

Set default delay to 0 to prepare for downtimes during cluster reloaction, set delay for google to infinite with bypass, added google for other domains, renamed google room to "domain.toplevel".

Infinite delay for google

Added an infinite delay with bypass option to the google config. Reason: too many users on google.com, google.de. Many start pages (Firefox) and people whi search something but without a common interest.

default-vpi.xml

Delegate all default cases to a new default-vpi.xml. Added https with mappings to the same location names as http URLs.

[:numeric:].domain.com -> domain.com

Changed search regex to map 12345.aa.com and www12.aa.com to aa.com.

Destination

Changed destination in vpi to return a complete URL rather than a domain name.

Again www.*

Changed dotde default mapping to map (wwwww1www1).xx.de to the same room (xx.de).
