wanna access users' browser cache to accordingly change temp

Post by BVKrishna »

I wanna access the users' cache information/browsing history so as to change the template fashion accordingly for the appealing effect on my website.

Could you please guide me with a programmatic approach, am thinking to deploy crawlers, spiders., being a newbie in programming, i find it hard to proceed.

could i get access to the posts by the user over social networking sites, what he often searches for (in personal computer, LAN, internet) and the like

I wish creating of 5 templates is good opinion, what do u think

does ppl use RSS feeds any more (to collect users' activity info from there)

flash, actionscript as front end, php as backend with mysql

You will not be able to do that without having something install on their computer, as that you are going to need to let them know you are doing that, which to your visitor is a MAJOR security risk.

So even if you could pull it off, it would not take long till your site would probably get flagged as trying to install malware, and google will block your site as such (which then Chrome and FF will warn anyone trying to go to it, and then even better, have AV software list your site as dangerous, and good luck getting back off that list.

And if you do manage all of this, and get people to install something on their system, you better make sure you have it 110% crystal clear what your program does, as if isn't disclosed you will be accessing private information, there are then legal issues.

In short, just not practical for legitimate reasons. Sorry to burst your bubble.
