wget. Or any other web scraper/spider. We do exactly that for our
sales guys when they're going somewhere and know they won't have an
internet connection, so they can still have our website available.

Hello, all. I am preparing for some hypothetical scenarios. Under one,
my web host stops supporting ColdFusion, and I have to keep hosting my
site there. Obviously, there is no way around the fact that some of the
functionality cannot be preserved without serious work. However, I am
looking at a stop-gap measure that would provide a static snapshot of
the site (where that made sense). Now, putting aside the fact that this
is a terrible scenario, let's assume that this is something I want to
and have to do: does anyone know of a tool that would do this?
Specifically, let's say I have (1) an About Us section that is all HTML
except for ColdFusion code that pulls the names and numbers of staff
from a database and displays it on the phone list; (2) a Products
section that includes a database-driven list of products and a details
template that generates one a fully detailed page on one product as
specified in by a URL variable; and (3) a form for running Verity
searches on a directory full of Word documents.
Obviously, I am up the creek on the search (number 3): you can't make
that from static pages. But for numbers 1 and 2, the end-result--even
under ColdFusion--is all HTML and JavaScript anyway. The tool I am
imagining would browse the site, take HTML snapshots of the pages as
they exist, and save them into the appropriate folder structure. Then I
could drop this data onto my web server and have a working site.
Certainly, I wouldn't be able to maintain it through database changes
and all, but this is a last-ditch, stop-gap measure, so that luxury is
unaffordable.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Matthieu
