Web History-save on pendrive

[pepeEL]

Is any chance to add option to save all web history on memory on pendrive ? To view all web history for example after reboot.

Don't we need an option to log the web history at all, or am I missing something? Writing that to a USB stick should be the smallest task.

I need this option the same as trafic to save on memory pendrive.

Pen drive, thumb drive, USB stick are all the same. That is what I am using to save network data with the current configuration. If you want to save all your browsing/email/whatever history you will need to implement Squid proxy or something like that which could take up a lot of space.

OK
But i want save all data which is show in Adaptative QOS> Web History because now after restart clear data and save to small data.

This is handled by the closed-source TrendMicro code. Nothing I can do about it.

Maybe send to ASUS pull request with this function as developer MERLINs...

As I said, I can't do anything. It's closed source, meaning I cannot change the code in any way. SO there's no patch or pull request for me to send.

Maybe a little brute force?

The data is probably being saved in a file somewhere in ram, so find a unique keyword (maybe an unusual site name) in the web gui, then grep for that keyword in the files on the router. If you can find the file, you could set up a cron job to periodically copy it to the USB drive.

As I recall, it's not a text file, it's a library call httpd sends to one of the closed-source components to obtain the current content.

I started to trace it back to see if I could find the file and you're right again

the gui page calls getWebHistory.asp which calls bwdi_history();

But....with that intermediate web call, maybe you could do a wget to get the raw data to save? Maybe someone could try going to getWebHistory.asp in a browser and see if it returns anything.

That still wouldn't provide any way of inserting historical data into the fresh data, and it could break any time TrendMicro did any change. Too hackish.

If people really want web history, it should be (re)-implemented using the old kernel module Tomato uses. But since the world is gradually shifting to SSL, which cannot be tracked by the router, this is a waste of time IMHO.

Even with TLS, people are typically typing "facebook.com" as URL in their browser. The HTTP page is then redirected, which means, the page could be tracked (of course, no subsequent browsing on facebook). So there is still some value.
