 +==== Place holders ====
 +
 +You can use a special place holders or variable in the URL field. When entering **%nr%** or **%string%** inside of the URL you will be able to define a range of values on how to replace it.
 +
 +{{ :email_spider:email_spider_place_holders.png |}}
 +
 +If you enter e.g. %%http://www.some-site.com%%/?page=**%nr%**, then the program will replace 
 +**%nr%** with numbers that you define. It will add then multiple URLs to parse. Same for the place holder **%string%**.
 +
 +**%nr%** stands for "number" and will insert a number counting from //start number// to //end number// that you define, where %string% will insert a random generated string.
 +The result are generated URLs that are all getting parsed by the program. You don't need **%string%** in most cases. Just **%nr%** is interesting for you as it can be used to speed things up when you found an URL that holds all the data you need and uses a parameter that is a number. Usually this is a database ID.
 +==== Login Required Websites ====
 +
 +Some websites require you to enter a login and password to get to a certain point of interest. There are basically two types to login.
 +
 +=== Auth-Http-Header ===
 +
 +This method is a server based authorization and your browser asks you to enter a login/password before it opens the website. If this is the case, you can use the following format when entering the URL:
 +
 +%%http://%%<color red>login</color>:<color red>password</color>@%%www.some-site.com/page.html%%
 +
 +=== Website-Form ===
 +
 +If you have to open a special website to enter a login and password followed by pressing a button on the page, you have to click on the label "**Requires Login**" as seen in the screenshot below.
 +
 +{{ :email_spider:email_spider_requires_login.png |}}
 +
 +A new form opens where you can simulate the login.
 +
 +{{ :email_spider:email_spider_login_form.png |}}
 +
 +  * Enter the URL click on **1. Parse**
 +  * Choose the login form in the box below (usually detected automatically)
 +  * Fill the fields with login/password
 +  * Click on **2. Submit**
 +
 +A page should open in your browser and hopefully showing some indication that the login was successful. Usually you should see a "Logout" link or button or some welcome message.
