See http://www.htdig.org/FAQ.html#q5.25 In short, htdig follows links to locate documents that should be indexed. If you are creating an empty index.htm file, chances are htdig starts with that file, finds no links, and decides that it is done. If you are just trying to prevent people from browsing when they use a URL that requests the default index page, copy the index.htm file and give it a different name. Use the URL of this new file as the start_url; make sure you adjust limit_urls_to appropriately. If you need something more secure than this, you can add all the URLs you want indexed to a text file and then use a start_url of form start_url: `/path/to/file` Jim ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ 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
