What does Web Crawler do
A WebCrawler collects data from the internet. Starting with an initial URL it recursively crawls all linked Websites. Due to the manifold capabilities of webpage structures and much linking to other pages, the configuration of this crawler enables you to limit the downloaded data to match your needs.

<A n="ResponseHeaser">
<L> <V>Content-type: text/html</V> </L> ...
</A>- MetaDataValue – only values of metadata are returned, for example:
<A n="ResponseHeader"> <L> <V>text/html</V> <L> </A>
- MetaDataMObject – metadata is returned as MObject containing attributes with metadata names and values, for example:
