Anyhow, my plan is to use htdig with local_urls and local_urls_only -- but it seems to have problems pulling up documents that are named like this: item.cgi?id=1 or item.cgi?id=10&cata=denim

No, but I don't know of anyone else who's reported trying it either. What OS are you using? Some OS and/or filesystems have problems with certain characters in filenames, and certainly ? and & characters are among them.I get something like this: So htdig finds the file, but then it says local retrieval failed. Are there any known issues with pulling files with CGI variables in the names?
Personally, I'd rather try using an HTTP proxy to handle local storage--you can still use wget to "prefetch" things through the proxy, but the proxy would be better able to handle file retrieval and issues like dynamic content on the remote server.
That said, I'd still qualify this as a bug, so it would help to get more information about your setup.
Thanks,
