Auto Web Page Browser

This application will cycle through a list of URLs you give it with a random delay in between each visit.

Features:
- cycle through a list of up to ten URLs
- configure the delay between each visit to suit your own needs
- easy to use

How it works

Written in AutoIt v3, Auto Web Page Browser is designed to read the specified URLs from a file and then visit each of them using Internet Explorer. Once an empty row or the end of the file is reached the program will automatically return to the top of the list.

Installing and using Auto Web Page Browser

Download the program archive here (hosted at Media Fire), extract it somewhere on your hard-drive (for example "C:\AWPB\") and edit urls.txt with the list of URLs you want to visit. Save your changes and then run awpb.exe. The program will now begin to visit each of the URLs you gave it.

To close Auto Web Page Browser right click its icon in the tray (the bottom right area of the screen) and click Exit.

To configure the delay between each visit, close Auto Web Page Browser, open awpb.ini and change the delay key (by default it is set to 1,000 miliseconds). The minimum delay between visits is 3-6 seconds (with a delay key of 0 miliseconds). For example, by setting the delay to 20,000, the program will wait from 23 to 26 seconds between each visit.

Disclaimer: I did my best to ensure this program is bug free and safe to use, however I'm not responsible for any damage it may cause. Use it at your own risk.

Feedback on this program is greatly appreciated. Whether or not this program will be upgraded in the future is entirely based on the amount of feedback I receive from its users.

I don't quite see the utility of this program. Did you do it just to see if you could work your way around it or have you really thought of a use for it?

Well, I made it for a number of reasons:
- I wanted to play around a bit with the Internet Explorer functions of AutoItv3
- I saw a request for something very similar like this on various sites on the Internet, including RentACoder.com where the buyer offered up to 50$ or so for it, so I thought it might be useful.
- I was bored. Very bored.

is there a way to make this do more than 10 sites? I'm looking for something that will browse a list of about 1000 or more.
