NAME

Win32::IEHistory - parse Internet Explorer's history index.dat

SYNOPSIS

use Win32::IEHistory;
my $index = Win32::IEHistory->new( 'index.dat' );
foreach my $url ( $index->urls ) {
  print $url->url, "\n";
}

DESCRIPTION

This parses so-called "Client UrlCache MMF Ver 5.2" index.dat files, which are used to store Internet Explorer's history, cache, and cookies. As of writing this, I've only tested on Win2K + IE 6.0, but I hope this also works with some of the other versions of OS/Internet Explorer. However, note that this is not based on the official/public MSDN specification, but on a hack on the web. So, caveat emptor in every sense, especially for the redr entries ;)

Patches and feedbacks are welcome.

METHODS

new

receives a path to an 'index.dat', and parses it to create an object.

urls

returns URL entries in the 'index.dat' file. Each entry has url, filename, headers, filesize, last_modified, last_accessed accessors (note that some of them would return meaningless values).

leaks

returns LEAK entries (if any) in the 'index.dat' file. Each entry has url, filename, headers, filesize, last_modified, last_accessed accessors (note that some of them would return meaningless values).

redrs

returns REDR entries (if any) in the 'index.dat' file. Each entry has a url accessor.
