since redirects are usually on the root of the website (the index.html's
of this world), it's easy to manage, since you just specify the
redirected URL in the channel setup rather than the original.  i've
never managed a site with redirects either.  my rule is just copy the
address bar in my web browser when the page loads.  if it works there,
chances are plucker will be fine.

Objet : Bug? Redirects Not Followed


I haven't entered this as a bug because I don't know if it actually IS
one. I was doing some testing of Plucker this evening, and decided to do
it against one of my own web sites so I wouldn't annoy anyone else. I
think of my chosen site as utterly generic - no Java, no JavaScript, no
ASP or CGI. (I might try the posting against another site of mine with a
C++ CGI back-end later, when I'm feeling ambitious.) My usual grabber is
HT Track, which has absolutely no problem on my web site. Plucker
failed. Grabbed a single file. Since I knew that was wrong, I didn't
waste time synching and examining the file - big mistake. Instead I
wasted time trying to discern the difference between my settings for
this and for Slashdot (which does grab.) To make a way-too-long story
just a wee bit longer, I eventually got past the brain-block and
realized the problem is my starting page... my index.html is just a
placeholder containing (sanitized)... Loading... Most spiders follow it.
Plucker doesn't. Is this a bug, or a feature request, or a pipe dream?
Thanks Tony McNamara
