Jim, thanks for your response. I don't think there will be any changing of URLs, so it sounds like we will be ok. FYI, we have been using ht://Dig on both Windows and Linux for a couple of years now, with no problems at all. Works great!

The htdig program doesn't care how a page is=0D generated, only what the HTML in the response looks like. If your new=0D system is generating valid HTML, you should be OK. The only exception that=0D comes to mind is the use of session ids, or similar techniques, that cause the URL for a given page to change from request to request. This probably would be a show stopper, but there might be some extra work required on your part. What search.html is named doesn't make any difference. It just needs to provide an valid HTML form to the client. It is not entirely clear from where you plan to actually run ht://Dig. If you are going to try to install the package on a Windows box, be aware that people tend to have mixed luck with that endeavor.

I've never figured out how to do that... Blocking isn't the ideal solution, because it means there's a whole pile of content that's non-searchable, but it's the only thing I've found that lets my dig actually finish. -Rhonda -- www.write-on.indy || www.write-on.org \/ http://history.ubcengineers.ca/ Discuss the art and craft of writing /\ UBC Engineers History Project That's the problem with world domination.
