RE: [htdig] Wrapper configuration

[Georgina A. <gj...@wa...>]

Hi Jon,

I think what you may be wanting to do is to call htsearch indirectly,
See http://www.htdig.org/FAQ.html#q4.7

So what you would do is call the htsearch cgi within your page rembering
to include the querystring
E.g.       <!--#include virtual=3D"/cgi-bin/htsearch?$QUERY_STRING" -->


Hope this helps,
Georgina
