Slurp

Slurp is a part of QuickSwitch. You can configure Slurp graphically using the QuickSwitch page (see the single link mode) or by hand using the documentation on this page.

To use Slurp, you just take any links on your websites that point to documents and "slurpify" them - that is you pass them to a Slurp call, like below:

Ordinary link:

http://lib.store.yahoo.net/lib/paulgraham/onlisp.ps
    

Slurpified link:

http://www.scribd.com/slurp?url=http://lib.store.yahoo.net/lib/paulgraham/onlisp.ps&publisher_id=pub-893822810442928521272
