Natalya set the start_url this way at my recommendation (see earlier postings in the thread) to rule out whether it's a problem with htdig being able to actually index PDF files given the URLs, as opposed to a problem with finding the URLs to the PDFs. Her test showed that it failed with a single PDF file, which suggests a problem either with that PDF file or with the setup of the external parser. That's the next stage of testing to tackle. Once her configuration is working reliably for a single PDF, given the URL, she'll be in a better position to try and see if it's also having problems finding the URLs from links in other documents. -- Gilles R.
