I must ask: why does htdig handle local_urls this way?
Doesn't it make more sense, when the attribute is set, to get ALL pages
locally except when:
the file does not exist
or
the file has execution permission set
or
the file name ends in .shtm, .shtml and one or two others
which have special meanings to servers.
