This web app allows a user to be notified via e-mail when a website they wish to track has been updated. Updates are currently monitored via periodic HEAD requests to specified urls, and checking for updates of etag or last-modified headers. Future versions of this application will perform more sophisticated checks of the web page.
Deployers of this application will also need to supply access to an SMTP server for e-mail notifications and should implement SSL for secure authenication.
My deployment of this application is hosted at webmonitor.ddns.me. Enjoy!
