Detecting href changes #508

Closed djibouti33 closed 8 months ago

djibouti33 commented 3 years ago

I've been using Klaxon for months now and am loving it.

Many of the sites I monitor link to PDFs. PDF change detection has already been discussed in https://github.com/themarshallproject/klaxon/issues/43. That would be great if someone changed the same PDF at the same location.

I'm needing to monitor when someone completely changed PDFs by linking to a new file all-together. If they did this, that tag's href attribute would point to a brand new URL.

Is there a way to configure Klaxon to detect changes to an href's value? If not, can you point me to where we might be able to make that change?

Currently, no, this isn't possible. Klaxon only pays attention to the inner HTML. Not sure exactly where this is specified though.

Hi all. With the recent release of Klaxon Cloud, we're going back and revisiting old issues that we're not going to pursue or support as we consider any future development of the original standalone Klaxon. This one (almost 3 years old now) falls in that bucket. Thanks for the contributions and discussions on this, but we'll close it as WONTFIX.
