We have an intranet with multiple links to word documents. Because access to some of the documents needs to be restricted, we're using PHP to authenticate users prior to delivering the document to the client. As a result, links to the Word documents are NOT of type http://intranet.yourcompany.com/msword_document.doc but rather http://intranet.yourcompany.com/view_doc.php?docid=1234
When the server recieves the request, if the user is authenticated, the PHP code sends an http header of "Content-Type: application/msword" along with a header "Content-Disposition: attachment filename=url_encoded_filename.doc" My question is, is this sufficient to invoke the msword->text translator used in conv_doc.pl or is the fact that the request is for a document with a .php extension going to confuse htdig? Also, when running rundig, we are passing the -a option so that we can allow users to keep searching while the dig is in progress. However we've noticed that once the dig finishes, the old database and such are not replaced with the work files. Can anyone suggest a modification to rundig that would do this for us if run with the -a option?
