Request possible new feature or plug in.

I sometimes grab links from the source of web pages. If you are doing bulk links it can be easier. This works just fine in most cases. Unfortunately when it comes to grabbing direct download links FRD can't parse them. Would you developers out there be willing to add the ability to parse links in the standard anchor tags? It might even be as simple as an href Direct download plug in.

Example code

Language: HTML
<a target="_blank" href="http://www.whatever.com/some%20fils%201%2022%20%28file%29.mkv">

Thanks to everyone for the fine work! :) I can't tell you how much time this program has saved me but it is substantial.

I'm not sure if it's possible to implement.

But I use this add-on in firefox. I don't know whether similar add-on available for other browsers.

This might help :)

Language: HTML
http://extractlinkurl.com/
 
<a target="_blank" href="http://www.whatever.com/some%20fils%201%2022%20%28file%29.mkv">

Funny you mention that link. I believe that is the site I used a couple weeks ago. I had a bunch of links that unfortunately were all relative links like below. So in order to get them into freerapid I first copied the source code. Then I used the replace feature in notepad to add the base url to each link automatically. At that time I planned to use replace to remove the rest of the junk. I decided that would be too much work. That's when I went searching and someone directed me to the website you mentioned. It saved me a LOT of time.

Language: HTML
<a target="_blank" href="/some%20fils%201%2022%20%28file%29.mkv">

As I said in the previous post Freerapid handles the task very well when it knows the service. If someone made a plugin perhaps the plugin would ask us for the url pattern it should look for. It could be called Direct Download Custom or maybe just custom. Then we would have a place to add the "Url for pattern matching" or some similar option in plugin settings. In it you would put something like "www.whatever.com/" and it would grab all of those links.
