unofficial fahmon updates

A few minor patches applied today over the existing ones present in 2.1.5b.3

The new patches add the ability to change the project data download source. It can either be set as a web resource, with the appropriate settings, or as a local file.

Using a local file as an update source can be useful in cases where data on psummary is incorrect, or simply missing. It allows users to alter the file to correct erroneous data, like p2604 listing only 2 frames when in fact there are 100, or add projects manually which for one reason or another are not present on psummary.

Using the advanced network settings

To contruct the url used to download new project data, fahmon does this:

http://$server:$port/$resource

Therefore with the default settings of:

• server = fah-web.stanford.edu
• port = 80
• resource = psummary.html

Note the lack of trailing and leading backslashes in the above.
The contructed url is:

http://fah-web.stanford.edu:80/psummary.html

If you wanted to alter the download settings to connect to:

http://www.foo.com:8080/bar/psummary.html

The settings would be:

• server = www.foo.com
• port = 8080
• resource = bar/psummary.html

Disabling the advanced settings causes fahmon to revert to its default internal values, which should always work.

This patch also fixes the regression introduced in 2.1.5b.1 which prevented fahmon from monitoring Tinker workunits.
