You can easily automate using WebWarper for Microsoft Internet Explorer. Please download the following utility:
webwarper.exe (36864 bytes, or 36 KB only)
How does this utility automate working with WebWarper?
Web page addresses starts with "http://" prefix, for example: "http://www.lycos.com/". When you type in the address line
— you typed
skipping "http://" prefix, and press ENTER, Internet Explorer browser corrects this address by adding the prefix automatically:
— resulting address
And the page http://www.lycos.com opens.
The webwarper.exe utility allows to change the method of this autocorrection for Internet Explorer!
Please run the utility, choose "Enable address autocorrection" option and press "OK". As a result, Internet Explorer browser will start adding the more complex "http://webwarper.net/ww/~av/" prefix instead of just "http://". Adding new prefix means viewing site via WebWarper! (See more detailed description of this prefix at the page "What is WebWarper?")
Now, when you type
skipping "http://", and press ENTER, then Internet Explorer replaces the typed address with the following:
And the page http://webwarper.net/ww/~av/www.lycos.com opens, i.e. the Lycos site will be viewed through WebWarper.
It does not mean that you now cannot visit a site without WebWarper! You just need to type the site address completely, with "http://" prefix. When you type in the address line
— you typed: this will not be corrected!
If you want, you may restore the default autocorrection mode at any time and completely get rid of WebWarper. Just run the utility (download it if necessary), choose "Disable address autocorrection" option and press "OK".
