Of course it doesn't tell you to put the slash at the end of your URLs because that's not the root cause of the error you were getting, but just a side issue. There are many reasons why URLs might get rejected, and FAQ 5.28 refers to 3 other FAQs that help figure out why. In the specifics of your case, question 5.27 would tell you about the "URL not in the limit!" error. > If you don't do this you get redirected from ~foo to > ~foo/ which is not in the limits: ... > redirect: http://sonne.heaven/~guettli/ > > Rejected: URL not in the limits!pick: localhost, # servers = 1 htdig does handle redirects properly, and redirects are standard practice for directory URLs that are missing the required trailing slash. The problem is your start_url is set to "http://localhost/~guettli";, so presumably the limit_urls_to value will default to the same setting, but the redirect uses a different host name, so it doesn't match your limit_urls_to setting. Adding the trailing slash to your start_url neatly avoids the problem, but it will happen again if htdig finds a link elsewhere in your documents that triggers another redirect. The proper solution is to make sure the correct host name is used in start_url or added to limit_urls_to. See http://www.htdig.org/attrs.html for information on all config attributes. -- Gilles R.
