If MirrorRoot is specified in indexer.conf,
mnogosearch copies the files it indexes to
directories such as mirror_root/http/domain/dir .
I can see three possible improvements in the
mirroring behaviour. The first two should be easy
to fix, while the third is more of a long-term
improvement:
1. The ../http/.. directory could be eliminated.
Not only is it unnecessary, but it also gives
an ugly directory structure if you would want
to actually make the mirror accessible to
outsiders.
2. Only files that are actually indexed are
mirrored. This is very sensible for indexing
purposes, but it defeats other possible uses
of a mirror, such as backup or protection of
a site from being forcefully taken down. There
should be a MirrorAll command to override the
Allow and Dissallow commands and force *all*
files to be mirrored, while the Allow and
Disallow commands still apply to what is
actually indexed.
3. If the indexer can be used as a combined
mirroring and indexing tool, then functionality
could be added to translate internal absolute
links to either relative links or translated
links. E.g., if I would index and mirror the
mnogosearch site , the indexer could translate
all http://search.mnogo.ru/whatever links in
the mirrored pages to /whatever or to
http://mysite/mirrors/whatever. I suspect that
lots of the code for this could be taken from
the wget code.
