Well, I think it's appropriate to use Document_no_host if the Retriever is supposed to fall back to HTTP, and that fails because it can't contact the host. However, if the user has set local_urls_only, then the Retriever should stick to the Document_not_local error code and give the appropriate error message in this case. There are some cases where it doesn't do this, and gives the "host not found" error instead. Also, the error handling for Document_not_local should probably be the same as for Document_no_host, except the error message of course. That is, in both cases it should treat the document as not being found, and mark it for purging. I think we also still need to do something about handling local_urls_only the same way in 3.2.0b4 and 3.1.x, as I think there are still some differences in terms of how/when it falls back to HTTP. -- Gilles R.
