My suggestion would be the same as Joe's. There's no easy way I can think of to do this otherwise. Even if there were a current_url attribute set internally for each URL that's parsed, this still wouldn't do the trick for two reasons: 1) Right now, exclude_urls is parsed once at the start of the run, to build a list of patterns by which all URLs are checked. At that point, current_url would have no value. Reparsing exclude_urls for each URL, and rebuilding the set of patterns each time, would be terribly inefficient. 2) Even if we did reparse exclude_urls for each URL, and set current_url to the URL being parsed, this still wouldn't do what you want because the current exclude_urls pattern would only apply to links found in the current document. So, if you found a link to leaff.html in leaf.html, it would be excluded, but if you found a link to leaff.html in indexf.html, it would not be excluded. -- Gilles R.
