Re: [htdig] wp2html for Linux

[David Adams]

Buy a licence for wp2html and you are entitled to the source code.  I have compiled it on both IRIX 6.5 and RedHat Linux 7.* without too much bother.   If you really need an RPM for wp2html then you will have to ask its author.   -- David Adams Computing Services Southampton University ----- Original Message ----- From: Brian Gibson To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Sent: Friday, September 06, 2002 11:48 AM Subject: [htdig] wp2html for Linux Speaking of Wp2html...... Does anyone know if there is an RPM for RedHat 7.x? I found the exe for Windows and the docs stated that you can copy that file over to a Unix box and it will work but that didn't make much sense to me. Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

When I run wp2html http://www.domain.com/somefile.doc from the command line, wp2html errors out saying: Error: Cannot open http://www.domain.com/somefile.doc. I get the same error with any of the flags I try. I think when you run wp2html on the command line, you have to give it a path to a local file, not a URL, so it can open the file directly. E.g. wp2html /var/www/html/somefile.doc When I run rundig -vv -c I get this error on the same file: 1:1:1:http://www.domain.com/somefile.doc: ! UNABLE to convert. This is likely because doc2html.pl isn't configured to recognize whatever Content-Type your web server is reporting for somefile.doc. If you run rundig with -vvv, or -vvvv, you should see the Content-Type that the server returns when htdig fetches this document. You must configure this type both in the external_parsers definition in htdig.conf, and in the doc2html.pl script itself. See the DETAILS file that comes with doc2html for configuration details.
