I wouldn't expect quoting to work, because start_url is handled as a string list, not a quoted string list. In a string list, white space is the delimiter between list items, and quotes (double or apostrophe) are taken literally as part of the string. When you use a file expansion, as `/path/to/url.file` , the file format is pretty flexible. Basically any white space in the file is used as a separator between items, although usually in practise you'll use a single newline character between each URL. > > It would also help to know if you see this problem with 3.1.x versions > > as well or is it strictly related to the 3.2.0b4 snapshot you're using. > > There's a new config file parser in 3.2 and there have been bugs with it > > before. > > I'm not using any 3.1 versions, only the beta. If you don't need any of the features of the 3.2 beta, like phrase searching, you may find 3.1.6 is easier to set up and less buggy. -- Gilles R.
