Background:
===========

The Safari web browser on OSX stores a cache of data and associated metadata 
from websites visited in:

~/Library/Caches/Safari/XX/XX/xxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx.cache
(x is a random numeric value)


Installing:
============

This program has been tested (and works) on OSX 10.4. 

It will compile on Linux with GNUStep, HOWEVER, it is unable to parse the 
.cache files under Linux because OSX has a proprientary Archive format that 
is incompatable with GNUStep.


Usage:
======

This program parses the an individual .cache file and displays the metadata 
stored with the cached data. It outputs the URL of the cached data, the HTTP 
Referrer, and the date the data/time was cached.

This program also extracts the binary cached data to a file named cachedata.out
in the current directory. The cachedate.out file may have to be renamed with
the proper file extension for some applications to open it.
(For example, if the cached data is a JPG, rename cachedata.out to 
cachedata.jpg, and view it in a JPG viewer.)

To output the cache metadata (URL,Referrer,Date/Time cached) to STDOUT in 
TAB delimited format, and extract cached data to cachedata.out in the current 
directory:

$ safari_cache 1234567890-1234567890.cache


If you attempt to read an OSX archive file under Linux you will receive
the following error:  "Uncaught exception NSInternalInconsistencyException, reason: Archive has wrong prefix". This error is caused by the OSX proprietary 
Archive format discussed above.
