Web URL

SiteSucker will accept any valid URL that begins with one of the following:

• http://
• https://
• file://

If you enter a file URL (i.e., a URL beginning with "file://"), it must reference an HTML page stored locally. (See Using a Local HTML File for more information.)

If you enter a URL that doesn't include "://", SiteSucker will automatically add "http://" to the beginning of the address.

Any encoded characters (percent escapes) in the URL should be converted using the character's UTF-8 value.

SiteSucker offers several ways to enter URLs in the Web URL text field, such as:

• You can type an address into the Web URL text field.
• You can choose an address in the History menu.
• You can choose a bookmark in the Bookmarks menu.
• You can copy a URL from your web browser and pasting it into the Web URL text field.
• You can drag a URL from your web browser or from a URL clipping file into the Web URL text field. (If the Drag Triggers Download setting is on, the download will start automatically after the drag.)
• You can drag a URL from your web browser or from a URL clipping file onto the SiteSucker icon in the Dock. (The download will start automatically after the drag.)
• You can drag a URL clipping file onto the SiteSucker icon in the Finder. (The download will start automatically after the drag.)
• You can choose "Download with SiteSucker" from the Services submenu in a web browser to send the selected URL to SiteSucker.
• If you've installed it, you can click the SiteSucker bookmarklet in your web browser to send the URL of the current page to SiteSucker.

If you automatically start a download while SiteSucker is busy downloading another site, the requested URL will be added to the document's queue. After the current download is finished, SiteSucker will begin downloading the next URL in the queue.

In addition, any text selected in the Web URL text field can be dragged from SiteSucker to another application, such as a web browser, or to the Finder, where it will create a URL clipping file.
