Usage Instructions for Monkey NetSurf 13 March 2011
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
This document provides usage instructions for the Monkey version of
|
|
NetSurf.
|
|
|
|
Monkey NetSurf has been tested on Ubuntu.
|
|
|
|
Overview
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
What it is
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
The NetSurf Monkey front end is a developer debug tool used to
|
|
test how the core interacts with the user interface. It allows
|
|
the developers to profile NetSurf and to interact with the core
|
|
directly as though the developer were a front end.
|
|
|
|
What it is not
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
Monkey is not a tool for building web-crawling robots or indeed
|
|
anything other than a debug tool for the NetSurf developers.
|
|
|
|
How to interact with nsmonkey
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
In brief, monkey will produce tagged output on stdout and expect
|
|
commands on stdin. Windows are numbered and for the most part
|
|
tokens are space separated. In some cases (e.g. title or status)
|
|
the final element on the output line is a string which might have
|
|
spaces embedded within it. As such, output from nsmonkey should be
|
|
parsed a token at a time, so that when such a string is encountered,
|
|
the parser can stop splitting and return the rest.
|
|
|
|
Commands to Monkey are namespaced. For example commands related to
|
|
browser windows are prefixed by WINDOW.

PLOT
|
|
|
|
In the below, %something% indicates a substitution made by Monkey.
|
|
|
|
%url% will be a URL
|
|
%id% will be an opaque ID
|
|
%n% will be a number
|
|
%bool% will be TRUE or FALSE
|
|
%str% is a string and will only ever be at the end of an output line.
|
|
|
|
Warnings, errors etc
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
Warnings (tagged WARN) come from the NetSurf core.
|
|
Errors (tagged ERROR) tend to come from Monkey's parsers
|
|
Death (tagged DIE) comes from the core and kills Monkey dead.
|
|
|
|
Commands
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
Generic commands
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
QUIT
|
|
Cause monkey to quit cleanly.
|
|
This will cleanly destroy open windows etc.
|
|
|
|
Window commands
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
WINDOW NEW [%url%]
|
|
Create a new browser window, optionally giving the core
|
|
a URL to immediately navigate to.
|
|
Minimally you will receive a WINDOW NEW WIN %id% response.
|
|
|
|
WINDOW DESTROY %id%
|
|
Destroy the given browser window.
|
|
Minimally you will recieve a WINDOW DESTROY WIN %id% response.
|
|
|
|
WINDOW GO %id% %url% [%url%]
|
|
Cause the given browser window to visit the given URL.
|
|
Optionally you can give a referrer URL to also use (simulating
|
|
a click in the browser on a link).
|
|
Minimally you can expect throbber, url etc responses.
|
|
|
|
WINDOW REDRAW %id% [%num% %num% %num% %num%]
|
|
Cause a browser window to redraw. Optionally you can give a
|
|
set of coordinates to simulate a partial expose of the window.
|
|
Said coordinates are in traditional X0 Y0 X1 Y1 order.
|
|
The coordinates are in canvas, not window, coordinates. So you
|
|
should take into account the scroll offsets when issuing this
|
|
command.
|
|
Minimally you can expect redraw start/stop messages and you
|
|
can likely expect some number of PLOT results.
|
|
|
|
WINDOW RELOAD %id%
|
|
Cause a browser window to reload its current content.
|
|
Expect responses similar to a GO command.
