No, they won't be ignored, but the resulting URL in the query results (which will be lowercased) may not work. > some page, you will miss only the pages that realy exist in multiple, > only case-different, names, but all the other ones are treated > correctly. > So then you won't miss any page with uppercases in it's name. When indexing, ht://Dig will not "miss" any pages with case_sensitive: false, it's simply a question of whether an all-lowercase URL will work to retrieve a mixed-case URL. But in any case, you can also index the UNIX servers and Windows servers separately with two different config files (i.e. one with case_sensitive: false and one with true). Use these for indexing and re-indexing. Then copy one of them to a database you'll use for searching and use htmerge to merge the other database into this new one. You'll have all the servers with correct URLs. (It's not quite as nice as having the per-server case_sensitive attribute, but it'll work.) <http://www.htdig.org/FAQ.html#q4.4> <http://www.htdig.org/FAQ.html#q4.5> <http://www.htdig.org/htmerge.html> Regards, -- -Geoff Hutchison Williams Students Online http://wso.williams.edu/ _______________________________________________________________ Don't miss the 2002 Sprint PCS Application Developer's Conference August 25-28 in Las Vegas -- http://devcon.sprintpcs.com/adp/index.cfm _______________________________________________ htdig-general mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, send a message to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> with a subject of unsubscribe FAQ: http://htdig.sourceforge.net/FAQ.html
