Abstract

A computer-based method for downloading text content and images in web pages is provided. The method includes downloading a web page as a temporary extensible markup language (XML) file in an application server, and searching the temporary XML file for predetermined information in the temporary XML file. The method further includes searching the temporary XML file for text content in the temporary XML file. Furthermore, the method includes converting a relative path of the image uniform resource locator (URL) to an absolute path by joining the URL of the web page to the front of the relative path of the image URL, and generating a local path for each image in the temporary XML file and storing each image into an application server according to the local path.

Dependent claims

A system for downloading text content and images in web pages, the system comprising:

a downloading module configured for downloading a web page as a temporary extensible markup language (XML) file to a cache of the system;
a searching module configured for searching the temporary XML file for predetermined information in the temporary XML file, wherein the predetermined information in the temporary XML file comprises a uniform resource locator (URL) and a title of the web page corresponding to the temporary XML file;
a determining module configured for determining if the temporary XML file has been downloaded previously according to the predetermined information in the temporary XML file, and determining if the temporary XML file contains image URLs;
a content finding module configured for searching the temporary XML file for text content in response to the determination that the temporary XML file has not been downloaded previously;
a storing module configured for storing the text content in the temporary XML file into a database;
a concatenating module configured for converting a relative path of the image URL to an absolute path by joining the URL of the web page to the front of the relative path of the image URL in response to the determination that the temporary XML file contains image URLs;
a generating module configured for generating a local path for each image in the temporary XML file and storing each image into a storage system according to the local path;
and
at least one processor that executes the downloading module, the searching module, the determining module, the content finding module, the storing module, the concatenating module, and the generating module.
