Hi Chris
Great widget, but on my computer it seems to have a memory leak. After a few days the VM usage goes up to 240MB and my computer spends most of the time swapping out to the page file, slowing everything down considerably. Stopping pagescaper then restarting it fixes the problem.
Thanks

Cool Idea...

I would like to try to use this widget as a type of system monitor... my issue: my sites are id/pw protected.

Is there any chance to add in userID/pw support for URLs?

I agree with Daemon. A way to decide if you want to show the first (or second or third) occurrence for a match would be great. I cannot show now some info just because there is no way to tell him to get the first occurrence (and it always chooses the last one).
