Hi,

I just noticed what follows. Let's consider a tag which looks like this one :
<A HREF="dir\page.html">text to click</A>,
(notice that this link is incorrect because of the \ instead of a / in the 
URL).

Internet Explorer corrects this error by replacing \'s in URL by /'s. 
Netscape Navigator and Opera navigator don't. ht://Dig don't either.

I wonder if it were possible to patch the htdig code in order to apply the 
same error correction than IE does.

I know it will be better to put the pages in good HTML but I don't have 
direct access to the author of these Web pages and I'm not sure it will be 
able to correct all of this. Looking into the HTML code of the pages 
containing such an error show me they were made with Microsoft Word ! These 
tags are in the beginning of the HTML code :
<meta name="ProgId" content="Word.Document">
<meta name="Originator" content="Microsoft Word 9">
<meta name="Template" content="F:\OFFICE97\OFFICE\html.dot">
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 3.0">

So, I think we can't make the MS-Word fans become good HTML coders in a 
short time and then, I think it could be good for htdig to workaround this 
particular problem.

What do you think about it ?
