Ouch!  Is there a proxy server you can go through?  If so, htdig can be
configured to use the proxy server.

Unfortunately, right now htdig needs to establish an initial HTTP
connection with the server being indexed, even when you use local_urls.
It uses this to get the robots.txt file, or just check to see if there
is one.  It also falls back on HTTP for any file that doesn't have a
.html, .htm or .txt suffix.  There are plans to eventually allow totally
local indexing, without using HTTP at all, but it's not there yet.
