If the search is dynamically based upon the querying (=client) host, the
htsearch program might need to be wrapped up in a small CGI, too.
This should also ensure, that no one could just alter the exclude/restrict
parameters of the form in order to get to the internal stuff.
Btw, this could also be a nice new feature for ht://Dig in general.
Perhaps some kind of Apache style allow/deny directives combined with
a configuration based restrict/exclude. This could make ht://Dig
more appropriate to combined (i.e. Internet + Intranet) web-sites
without having to set up special wrappers. What do you think, Geoff?
