Thanks a lot Gilles, unfortunately solution 1) won't work as the dynamic part is a TIMESTAMP and can really be anything. AND as I am not a programmer, solution 2) is just above my head ;-) Any plans to get pattern matching for local_urls in a future htdig version? My current workarround is to add a HOST entry into /etc/hosts which at least maps the akamai server to my local server (and then catch the funny url on my webserver and rewrite it with mod_rewrite) so I don't have to pay for bandwith. Being able to use local_urls with patern matching would however speed things up a bit. -- <http://www.StefanSeiz.com> Spamto: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ htdig-general mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, send a message to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> with a subject of unsubscribe FAQ: http://htdig.sourceforge.net/FAQ.html
