Safebrowsing and web

Quote from http://www.clamav.net/support/faq-safebrowsing:

"It is mainly targeted at people who are using ClamAV to filter web traffic."

Seems unlikely as only mbox files are currently phishingChecked.

Would it be possible to:

- Enable phishingChecks (atlast Safe Browsing) for HTML data?

- Have an API to check URL from Safe Browsing database directly? Would be
useful for http scanners like HAVP to check the actual URL. Of course one
could/should implement SB API directly, but it would be handy..

Do ClamAV mirrors update safebrowsing.cvd on the recommended 30 minute
interval?

Cheers,
Henrik

Hi,

I've opened a bugreport about this here:
https://wwws.clamav.net/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1475

I don't think this is possible according to the TOS, but I am not a
lawyer: http://code.google.com/apis/safebrowsing/terms.html
"5.10 Unless you have been specifically permitted to do so in a separate
agreement with Google, you agree that you will not reproduce, duplicate,
copy, sell, trade or resell the Services for any purpose."

Yes, we have published 506 safebrowsing.cvd versions so far, that is an
average of 1 cvd every 28m.

Best regards,
