DESCRIPTION
Apache::CustomKeywords is a customizable proxy/webapp to change your
MSIE's Location box to your favourite toolbar!
See http://www.mozilla.org/docs/end-user/keywords.html for what Custom
Keywords means in Mozilla. This module enables Custom Keywords in MSIE.
With "CustomKeyword" settings shown in the section on "SYNOPSIS", you
type "cpan CustomKeywords" or "google blah blah" in your browser's
Location: box, then you will be redirected to the page you wanna go to!
Here's the way this handler works:
* Type "foo bar" in Location: box
* MSIE sends request to "auto.search.msn.com"
* Apache::CustomKeywords detects it and redirects browser to your
favourite search engine.
CONFIGURATION
There're two ways to let your browser use this module:
As a proxy server
configure "httpd.conf" with a proxy version and set up your
browser's proxy setting.
As a pseudo MSN
configure "httpd.conf" with psuedo MSN version and set up your Hosts
file ("/etc/hosts" in Un*x, "Windows/Hosts" or
"windows/system/drivers/etc/Hosts" in Win32) or local DNS so that
"auto.search.msn.com" points to the server this module is installed.
NOTE
If you put ":" or "@" as a query in Location: box, MSIE recognizes it as
protocol or authentication password stuff, hence this module might not
work.
TODO
* User-definable conversion of query paramers, including encoding
conversions. Currenty only %s interpolates to URI-Escaped string
encoded in UTF8.
