That's not quite right. If you want to feed a list of URLs from a
plain text file into htdig's start_url attribute, you have to do it
something like:
start_url: `${common_dir}/urllist.txt`
Of course, you can put any file pathname within the left quotes, but the
left quote marks are necessary for feeding a file into an attribute like
this. (It can be used for any attribute, by the way.)

and http://www.htdig.org/FAQ.html#q5.25

Yes, that's the key point here. Regardless of how you set start_url, or
how many entries you put in start_url, each entry must be a valid URL which
specifies the protocol and server. In 3.1.x, the protocol must be "http:".
