It's certainly not this "human readable," but you can certainly run htsearch from the shell. For example many people have Perl or shell or PHP "wrappers" around htsearch. You can either set the QUERY_STRING environment variable, or supply the query string on the command-line, e.g. (this may not quite be right--I don't have a working example handy) export REQUEST_METHOD=GET export QUERY_STRING="config=..." htsearch or htsearch "config=..." > to call htsearch by a batch, and I would also like to get rid of the http > headers in the output(or did I overlook something??) Gilles just commited a patch to 3.1.6 to do this--either to set the header to another MIME type or to ignore it altogether. In short, there's little reason your search-side situation isn't all that different from another PHP/Perl wrapper. -- -Geoff Hutchison Williams Students Online http://wso.williams.edu/ _______________________________________________ htdig-dev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/htdig-dev
