Well, it appears yet another problem has cropped up on the htdig.org web site. It used to be that it was only indexing the web site docs and the old mailing list archives, but not the geocrawler archives. Geoff fixed that, and everything was working well for over a month, but now it's only indexing the geocrawler archives and nothing else! Unfortunately, the relevant discussions about timeout values occurred last year, before the switch to SourceForge-based mailing lists archived on Geocrawler, so it's pretty hard to find them. To make matters worse, I believe some of these issues were only discussed in the old bug tracking database, which is no longer around. I believe the 3.2.0b4 code fixes this problem by putting alarm() calls around the connect() call, but this hasn't made it into the 3.1.x series. -- Gilles R.
