Will it be possible to put patch for '-' argument (to read list of
URL's from stdin) to htdig into 3.1.x version? Or only in 3.2.0?
I need this or similar argument very much in order to index all
HTML documents in a some directory with a command like
"find /some/dir -name '*.html' | htdig -".
And I began to write HtFile class for 3.2.0 version. Will it be
possible to include this change too?

It is another thing I need very much, because many local documents
contain this tag and it would be better to just ignore the tag than to
force user to manually remove it. I was not able to understand is
decision reached on this point from letters CC to me (I'm not
subscribed to mailing list, so I could miss some letters).

I haven't seen single call to getline() in 3.1.x version. Is it in
3.2?

Please, can you point me to what this method is? In truth I was just
lazy to write function to URL_encode words before passing them to
htsearch. Nevertheless if this option is undesirable, I'll write
(or just rip somewhere) this function.
