Ciao!

Can HTDig index documents that are not publicly available through the web
server?
Yes ... and no ... I think I don't understand your problem. :-) Sorry, can you be more precise?


Part of the problem is that the search and the site exist on two different
servers. The site is in windows NT, IIS and the search comes from a Unix
server running Apache. I use a PHP script to remotely grab the search
results. I want to be able to index the documents on the IIS server from the
Apache server and still restrict users from linking directly to the
materials.
You mean through your search page, don't you? You can make a sort of gateway-script which, given an id, gives back a document. If so ... you should check the referring URL (or referer) and in particular force it to be 'your site/cgi-bin/htsearch'; if yes you give back the document itself, otherwise send back a redirect to your main page or issue a 404 not found page.

When indexing, you can do different ways; the simplest one would be to use the same script, and to allow the document retrieval only to the user agent used by htdig.

Hope this matches your needs; sorry but I didn't understand a lot ... However, feel free to post your problems again! :-)

Ciao ciao
-Gabriele
