Yes, but each TCP connection is already retried a few times. So you should try a URL over if the server seems dead? How do you do that when there's only one server--wait some length of time and try it again? Maybe. For the sake of 3.1.6 (and getting it out the door), I'd rather go with Gilles' approach--you can turn off the practice of marking a server as dead. Those users who want to keep trying a server will have that ability. The people who complained bitterly that htdig would keep trying a dead server will have the ability to ignore it. ><word1> and * not <word2> == <word1> not <word2> > >Can that be parsed easily? Not in the current parser.cc. Perhaps I should rephrase that... I'm not going to write code to deal with that case and certainly not for a "production release." If someone else thinks they can tackle that type of query in a reasonable time-frame and can convince us that it doesn't introduce add'l bugs in the query parser, then great. I'm of the opinion that the sooner we can go to a new parser, the better. -Geoff _______________________________________________ htdig-dev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/htdig-dev
