Could someone put the latest HtDig::Database or a link thereto on sourceforge too? this is the link ftp://ftp.halcyon.com/pub/users/wjones/HtDig-Database-0.52.tar.gz HtDig fixes a small bug mentioned here regarding file extensions. I retract my alleged bug on dates with HtDig::Database - it's some Front Page nonsense on the site I'm indexing. Meanwhile I am working on a better version of newwhatsnew.pl using this HtDig::Database 0.52.

Hi Ben, Sorry to be so tardy in responding to your message. I haven't been keeping up with the ht://Dig lists, and have had procmail filing away mail from the list as it comes in. I just got around to looking through the folder yesterday, and was chagrined to find another question about the HtDig::Database module that you sent way last February. I don't usually ignore mail like that. Anyway, about the confusion of .htm and .gif ... If you haven't figured it out already, the fix is to change the value of @default_url_part in Database.pm from this: my @default_url_parts = qw( http:// http://www. ftp:// ftp://ftp. /pub/ .html .gif .jpg .jpeg /index.html /index.htm .com/ .com mailto: ); to this: my @default_url_parts = qw( http:// http://www. ftp:// ftp://ftp. /pub/ .html .htm .gif .jpg .jpeg /index.html /index.htm .com/ .com mailto: ); This list needs to match the value of "common_url_parts" in htcommon/defaults.cc. Thanks for catching the bug! I haven't seen the problems you mention with modification dates, but if you can provide any more details I'll look into it. I've just put together a new version of the module with your bug fix and a few other minor changes, which you can get from: ftp://ftp.halcyon.com/pub/users/wjones/HtDig-Database-0.51.tar.gz However, the future of this module is unclear. Because of changes in the database format, it won't work with ht://Dig 3.2. It really should be replaced by an XS module, but I don't know when I'll get time to work on that. -- Warren ------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from the htdig3-dev mailing list, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You will receive a message to confirm this.
