Sigh. It never ends.... :-(
Initially, not knowing anything about search engines, I thought it would simply index
all
pages in the document rout specified as start_utl. Then it became obvious htdig
actually
follows [some] links through the web pages.
What's irking me is why it is only some, not others. I have two systems.
http://www.ehcs.com.au is the primary machine, ftp://ftp.ehcs.com.au is another. The
web
pages are currently stored at http://www.ehcs.com.au, which is really
/usr/local/etc/httpd/htdocs.
Here's an extract from the chain of web files.. The first is index.htm, which points to
ftpmenu.htm which has four buttons.
[index.htm]
a href="ftpmenu.htm" TARGET="main" onMouseOver="window.status='Visit our HUGE FTP site
and
download everything for free!' ;return true" onMouseOut="window.status='';return true">
<IMG SRC="./pics/idxbut10.gif" BORDER=0 ALT="Huge FTP Archive."></A>
--
[ftpmenu.htm]
<a href="htdigsrch.html"><img src="./pics/idxbut23.gif" border=0 alt="Use our search
engine to locate the files you need"></a>
<a href="filelogo.htm"><img src="./pics/idxbut22.gif" border=0 alt="Browse through
the
files by category"></a>
<a href="ftp://ftp.ehcs.com.au"><img src="./pics/idxbut24.gif" border=0 alt="Browse
through the files via text directory listings"></a>
<a href="ftpindex.htm"><img src="./pics/idxbut21.gif" border=0 alt="View the HUGE
list
of files by filename."></a>
The third button (idxbut24.gif), brings up the text based directory listing, which is
probably obvious from the code. The last (idxbut21.gif), is a list of every file on the
ftp machine, as shown by the next few lines...

[ftpindex.htm]
<A HREF="ftp://ftp.ehcs.com.au/lists/allfiles.zip"><B>allfiles.zip</B></A>
<A HREF="ftp://ftp.ehcs.com.au/lists/xxxfiles.zip"><B>xxxfiles.zip</
htdig won't catalog these pages. In fact, it won't even catalog ftpindex.htm, but it
does
catalog ftpmenu.htm
Has me baffled :-(
