You can get rid of most, if not all, HTTP requests using the local_urls config attribute (and related ones). http://www.htdig.org/attrs.html#local_urls I say "most" because local_urls will fall back to HTTP if it cannot find the file or it is a server-parsed file like .php, .pl, .asp, .jsp, etc. However, most web-analysis programs I've used also have various filtering methods, so you could filter out web requests from the htdig host (which may be the webserver itself). In my case, this doesn't skew results as I'm never viewing the website from the server itself. -- -Geoff Hutchison Williams Students Online http://wso.williams.edu/ ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com _______________________________________________ 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
