I've setup htdig 3.2.0b6 and 3.1.6 on both Solaris 8 and Redhat 9 trying to get use_doc_date to work with my CGI scripts that output HTML. I've applied the recommended patch to the 3.1.6 as described here: http://www.htdig.org/mail/2000/04/0156.html
I don't know much about this patch, but it looks like it was for 3.1.5. It
is possible that it is not applicable to 3.1.6.
There is a more important patch for 3.1.6. There is a parsing problem with
the code in the default distribution that is corrected with the following
patch.
ftp://ftp.ccsf.org/htdig-patches/3.1.6/metadate.0
My apologies, that is the patch we used. I referred to the wrong archived mail-list message. Still no change.
I'm reindexing after each change with a modified version of rundig that doesn't use the -i flag for htdig (I've also disabled the -a flag for the modified rundig). I've tried using the default rundig as well. No luck.
I've been going nuts for two days and must be missing something simple or possibly misunderstanding the function of use_doc_date.
In my htdig.conf file I have the following lines: # use meta date to determine a new page use_doc_date: true
Within the head of each of the pages indexed I have something like this:
<META NAME="Date" CONTENT="2005-02-16">
I've tried using META name dc.date, dc.date.created and dc.date.modified. I've also tried dates in the format YYYYMMDD, YYMMDD, YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS, YYYY MM DD, etc....
You are reindexing after each change aren't you?
