I've setup htdig 3.2.0b6 and 3.1.6 on both Solaris 8 and Redhat 9 trying to get use_doc_date to work with my CGI scripts that output HTML. I've applied the recommended patch to the 3.1.6 as described here: http://www.htdig.org/mail/2000/04/0156.html
I don't know much about this patch, but it looks like it was for 3.1.5. It is possible that it is not applicable to 3.1.6.
There is a more important patch for 3.1.6. There is a parsing problem with the code in the default distribution that is corrected with the following patch.
ftp://ftp.ccsf.org/htdig-patches/3.1.6/metadate.0
I've been going nuts for two days and must be missing something simple or possibly misunderstanding the function of use_doc_date.
In my htdig.conf file I have the following lines: # use meta date to determine a new page use_doc_date: true
Within the head of each of the pages indexed I have something like this: <META NAME="Date" CONTENT="2005-02-16">
I've tried using META name dc.date, dc.date.created and dc.date.modified. I've also tried dates in the format YYYYMMDD, YYMMDD, YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS, YYYY MM DD, etc....
You are reindexing after each change aren't you?
