Hi, I'm not quite sure what you're asking. Yes, you can use local_urls to index through the filesystem instead of making HTTP requests. Yes, if you do this and you have HTTP access restrictions, you may have documents in your database that will come up in results that a user will not have permissions to view. But there's absolutely no way that htdig can know about HTTP access restrictions when it's indexing through the filesystem. You can certainly *tell* it via attributes like: limit_urls_to: exclude_urls: etc. Cheers, -- -Geoff Hutchison Williams Students Online http://wso.williams.edu/ At 7:51 AM -0500 3/7/01, Toxik - Dann Cohen wrote: >Hi, > >I was wondering if HtDig can be used to search a filesystem and >return the result throught http and use the security of the >filesystem.
