Hi folks- I've just set up ht://dig successfully on a Sun V120 web server (Solaris 8). I've got all the external parsers working properly with the exception of ppthtml. Apparently what gets indexed (and subsequently shows in search results) is not the content of the powerpoint document itself, but the output of the parsing routine!
Below is what is shown in my htdig -vvvv output: (note the "word:" lines...). Also of note: running ppthtml from the command line on the file produces the HTML output I was expecting. Strange indeed. Any insight would be greatly appreciated! -Shawn Coomey ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ./htdig -vvvv output: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Header line: HTTP/1.1 200 OK Header line: Date: Mon, 18 Oct 2004 18:54:25 GMT Header line: Server: Apache/1.3.31 (Unix) PHP/4.3.9 Header line: Last-Modified: Mon, 18 Oct 2004 18:53:54 GMT Converted Mon, 18 Oct 2004 18:53:54 GMT to Mon, 18 Oct 2004 18:53:54 Header line: ETag: "5aa73-fe00-41741142" Header line: Accept-Ranges: bytes Header line: Content-Length: 65024 Header line: Connection: close Header line: Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-powerpoint Header line: returnStatus = 0 Read 8192 from document Read 8192 from document Read 8192 from document Read 8192 from document Read 8192 from document Read 8192 from document Read 8192 from document Read 7680 from document Read a total of 65024 bytes (changed) word: [EMAIL PROTECTED] word: [EMAIL PROTECTED] word: [EMAIL PROTECTED] word: [EMAIL PROTECTED] word: [EMAIL PROTECTED] word: [EMAIL PROTECTED] word: [EMAIL PROTECTED] word: [EMAIL PROTECTED] word: [EMAIL PROTECTED] word: [EMAIL PROTECTED] word: [EMAIL PROTECTED] word: [EMAIL PROTECTED] word: [EMAIL PROTECTED] word: [EMAIL PROTECTED] word: [EMAIL PROTECTED] word: [EMAIL PROTECTED] word: [EMAIL PROTECTED] word: [EMAIL PROTECTED] word: [EMAIL PROTECTED] word: [EMAIL PROTECTED] word: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ...etc, etc etc. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IT Product Guide on ITManagersJournal Use IT products in your business?
