I plan to find some other guy to programme a small software to incorporate GSA ser identifing platform work with PR, DA and PA checking work.
So I want to know how GSA Ser identify platform?
In the GSA folder, I found a sub folder called Engines.
It seems GSA ser identify platform via the setting of this sub folder.
Eg. For Article Dashboard platform.
I found one part in the setting:
page must have1=signup.php|Powered by <a href="http://www.articledashboard.com">Article Dashboard</a>
page must have2=login.php|login2submitart.php|submitarticles.php|Powered by <a href="http://www.articledashboard.com">Article Dashboard</a>
page must have3=submitarticles.php|Powered by <a href="http://www.articledashboard.com">Article Dashboard</a>

Above are the codes which GSA ser used to identify platform, right?
I guess so, but what do they mean for "page must have1, page must have2, page must have3".
Why they are sorted in 3 parts instead of 1?
I mean I checked other platform, some one only have "page must have1"
So why Article Dashboard platform has 3 "page must have", instead of put all them together as
page must have1=signup.php|Powered by <a href="http://www.articledashboard.com">Article Dashboard</a>|login.php|login2submitart.php|submitarticles.php|Powered by <a href="http://www.articledashboard.com">Article Dashboard</a>|submitarticles.php|Powered by <a href="http://www.articledashboard.com">Article Dashboard</a>

Does it mean the identification must have one code of each "page must have"

Thanks.

    each line can have more than one possible matches all seperated by |

    And each of the page must have lines must have at least one of those items on the page.

    Same for "url must have".

    @sven
    Sorry, I still haven't get the point.
    For above instance, does the "at least one" mean a single match on all the 3 page must have?
    Or it mean, it must have one match per line, so total 3 items on the page to count as a good match?
    Thanks

    It means that all "page must have" lines have to match...but only one item from that lines who are separarted by |.

    Question, on this example of articledashboard.

    it shows identifying footprints:
    page must have1=href="signup.php"|Powered by Article Dashboard|© 2005-2011 Article Dashboard|class="formsubmitart"
page must have2=login.php"|action=login2submitart.php|submitarticles.php"|Powered by Article Dashboard|© 2005-2011 Article Dashboard|class="formsubmitart"
page must have3=submitarticles.php"|Powered by Article Dashboard|© 2005-2011 Article Dashboard|class="formsubmitart"
    from what i see if need to use these identifying footprints with other software so need to make all possible combinations of these 3 strings (lists). and any of items in those 3 strings should be included. but always any of all 3 strings. as result of combination after cleaning we can see 96 footprints.some of them :

    Sven, s4nt0s is this right logic if i need extract identifying footprints? and how quickly they changes. i mean how often need to monitor these identifying footprints into /Engines/ folder for new OR updated footprints, extract them and process.
