Web Connector Help

# Features and Capabilities

- The Web Connector retrieves information from Web sites over HTTP.

- The embedded web browser in Web Connector 25.2 is Chromium 115.

  NOTE: The embedded web browser in Web Connector 25.2 for the `RHEL7FIPS` platform is Qt Webkit 5.1.1. Some features are not supported on this platform.

- The connector can crawl a Web site starting from a page that you specify, or retrieve the pages listed in a site map. When crawling a web site, the connector can follow links that exist in the HTML source of the page or in Adobe Flash content.

- The connector can extract information contained in data URIs. For example, images might be base-64 encoded and included in the source of an HTML page:

      <img src="data:image/png;base64,...">

- The connector can log on to Web sites to retrieve content. The connector supports the following types of authentication:

  - HTTP Basic
  - HTTP Digest
  - NTLMv2
  - Kerberos (not supported on the `RHEL7FIPS` platform).
- You can configure the connector to populate and submit HTML forms. This feature is useful when the connector must log on to a Web site.
- The connector uses canonical links in web pages and response headers to de-duplicate content retrieved from the web.
