I'd be interested in knowing how your handler.pl script puts out the "t" records for Content-Type, which is critical for htdig properly identifying what's what as far as file types. E.g., for a PDF, it should emit a header record like this: t: application/pdf with one tab and no spaces. If it's not doing that, that may be the cause of your problem. > The log of all PDF, Word, Excel, etc documents is recorded in > /var/log/doc2html.log, and it shows no evidence of any documents been > indexed if they are from https://.

The htdig-3.2.0-1.b4.0.72 RPM was built with a late October 2001 snapshot of 3.2.0b4, which had a problem with how the external transport handler managed the access time object. I don't know if that could lead to the problem you report, but if the handler.pl is functioning correctly, it may be worth a try rebuilding with a more recent snapshot. -- Gilles R.
