STANDARD SETTINGS

Source: Whether you are fetching locally (a page on this C5 server) or remotely (any other server). Note: Local URLs are fetched as http://$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']/[VALUE ENTERED]

URL: The relative (local) or absolute (remote) url to cURL fetch.

Rewrite Links: Rewrite all relative links, including scripts, forms, images, areas, inputs to include the scheme and host of the requested URL.

ADVANCED SETTINGS

XPath Parser: To include a div or node use an XPath query expression, e.g. "*/div[@id='gbar']" (no quotes) fetches just the div with id='gbar'

Cache Interval: Life of the cache, to be renewed every X minutes|hours|days with another request. 0 caches forever after initial request.

cURL Options: Pass argument pairs as cURL_OPTS, e.g. CURLOPT_REFERER => "http://www.ace4it.com/in_curl",CURLOPT_USERAGENT=> "MyInCurl"

GENERAL NOTES

CSS can conflict and kill C5 Admin CSS - be careful what you cURL
