Hi Steve,
We are all learning :-), and your question was not annoying at all. Keep
asking!
Cheers,
Renaud

Thanks. I'll do a bit more research on the subject. Believe it or
not, I've never heard of DOMContentUtils.getOutlinks, but I'm learning
a bit more and more every day :).
Step 1 - install it
Step 2 - ask a bunch of annoying newbie questions on the mailing list
Step 3 - RTFM
Step 4 - fix my installation so that it works to my needs
Step 5 - answer annoying newbie questions from other people and help
spread the word.
I'm still on step 2, but I'm getting there :)
Thanks,
Steve

You also might want to disable the parse-js parser if you don't need it
(in your nutch-site.xml)...

This is taken care of by DOMContentUtils.getOutlinks: it relies on DOM
attributes, not Strings

DOMContentUtils.getOutlinks ignores rel="nofollow" links
