App::Wubot::Plugin::SafariBookmarks - monitor for new safari bookmarks
version 0.3.10
This plugin is just a prototype! Lots more to do here.
Currently this plugin copies the safari bookmarks file:
~/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist
The file is copied to:
/tmp/bookmarks.plist
Then the 'plutil' utility is used to convert the plist to XML:
plutil -convert xml1 /tmp/bookmarks.plist
The file is then read in to a data structure using XML::Simple. The data structure is walked recursively, and all unique URLs in the data structure are returned. Only the URLs are matched; no further parsing of the file has been implemented yet. An attempt is made to fetch the content of the URL using LWP::Simple in order to grab the page title. If the attempt succeeds, the resulting message will have the title set in the 'subject' field, e.g.:
subject: Slashdot: News for nerds, stuff that matters link: http://www.slashdot.org/
If the attempt to fetch the title fails, the subject will simply be set to the URL:
subject: http://www.slashdot.org/ link: http://www.slashdot.org/
This plugin uses the wubot caching mechanism, so that messages are only sent when a new URL is found in your bookmarks.
This does also find items added to the reading list in OS X Lion.
The standard monitor check() method.
