Table 1. Fetch Settings
Setting Name	Type	Description

Fetch test parser (fetch.test-parser)	string	The name of an XSL parser used to process the current state of the retrieval and decide if the fetching should stop or not. By default, this is turned off (in the core-main-cgi macro) when the `timeout` CGI parameter is specified.
Fetch status display parser (fetch.status-parser)	string	The name of an XSL parser used to output some HTML code every fetch.interval milliseconds that displays a status to the end user.
Interval for fetch.test and fetch.status (fetch.interval)	number	Interval in milliseconds at which the fetch.test-parser is performed and the fetch status is printed. Default: 500
