Advanced options

This page controls advanced features of Awasu.

• Auto-detect an Internet connection
  Turn this on to suspend all channel updates if your computer is not connected to the Internet.
• Delay before updating channels
  Causes Awasu to wait before starting to update channels, either after the program has just started or after a system resume.

  This is useful for systems where there is a delay before the Internet connection is ready to be used e.g. because an IP address needs to be assigned.
• Proxy authentication
  Click this button to set proxy authentication details.

• Enable feed:// protocol handler
  Causes Awasu to be called to handle feed:// links.

  Web sites can have feed:// links that will automatically start a feed reader to subscribe to a feed when the link is clicked. You should tick this box if you want these links to start Awasu's Channel Wizard.
• Allow feed URL's to be updated automatically by the publisher
  Publishers may notify feed readers that their feed has moved and what the new URL is. Tick this box to allow Awasu to update your channels with the new URL.

  It is possible for this feature to potentially cause problems if you are connected to the Internet via an improperly configured network. Awasu will warn you if too many of your channels are having their feed URL's changed and lets you revert them back to their original URL's.
• Enable auto-discovery
  Web sites can advertise their feeds via special hidden links in the page. Tick this box if you want to be notified about these feeds as you browse.
• Plugin port
  The HTTP port that Awasu will use to communicate with plugins.

  You should only change this value if it is conflicting with another application. Awasu also uses port 2604 to accept subscription requests embedded in web pages; this port number cannot be changed.
• Script timeout
  Specifies the maximum amount of time to allow external scripts and programs to run for.
