Yes, this would fail because the shell would replace $FILE on the command line with whatever the environment variable FILE contained, or an empty string if undefined. > [root@fhlx007 bin]# ./handler.pl https > 'https://fh2k018.fhmis.net/quickplace/mis/PageLibrary85256B3500795FD6.nsf/h_ > index/C6D21E7CEE35AC8185256B3C0055D8F1/$FILE/Technology+Standards.doc' > /etc/htdig.conf | more > s: 200 > r: OK > t: application/msword > l: 72192 > m: Thu, 31 Jan 2002 18:34:48 GMT This is the relevant test. When htdig calls the handler.pl script itself, it passes the URL as a single argument without modifications or expansions, so the handler will get it as-is. > I thought I had added single quote in the curl command line in handler.pl to > protect the URL from shell escape (please see my prevous message > attachment).

Yes, you did put the '$url' in single quotes in the curl command used by handler.pl, and that was indeed the correct thing to do. I don't think this is the cause of your problems. How about you try the following command to see what it does: ./handler.pl https ] 'https://fh2k018.fhmis.net/quickplace/mis/PageLibrary85256B3500795FD6.nsf/h_index/C6D21E7CEE35AC8185256B3C0055D8F1/$FILE/Technology+Standards.doc' \ /etc/htdig.conf | cat -v -t -e | grep '^.:' What I want to see is whether there are any extra space characters getting added to the header. If everything looks right with this, the next step would be to put some debugging output in handler.pl and/or ExternalTransport.cc to see what's going on when htdig calls the handler.pl itself. -- Gilles R.
