[htdig] ssl Patch for htdig
Hello, i would need a SSL-Version of htdig. n the Archives i found a Thread about a SSL-Patch for htdig. Only Patchfile i found is: ftp://ftp.ccsf.org/htdig-patches/3.1.5/ssl.1 and that does not apply against a "clean htdig". Only Help would be aplying all patches manually. Is anyone out there who has done this already ? Or someone who can point me to a patch appliable against a clean htdig or send me patched sources ? merci Micha To unsubscribe from the htdig mailing list, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You will receive a message to confirm this.

Closely related, is there a simple way to actually see the value of $(SCORE) and/or $(PERCENT) which was assigned to a given listing? Documentation implies that I'd have to alter the value of builtin-long; seems like there ought to be a simpler way which doesn't require so many config changes. (Or maybe what I'm really saying is that the "sample" config ought to include actual specification of almost all parameters; possibly with less-frequently-altered ones in a separate section). There are bugs in the score calculation in 3.2.0b1 3.2.0b2, which are fixed in the latest 3.2.0b3 development snapshot. I suggest you give that a try. As for how the score is calculated, that was discussed at length a few months ago (in August, I think), so you may want to search the mailing list archives. -- Gilles R.

Re: [htdig] different search results
According to gkalter: Hope this mailing-list is the right one..;-) Today I got htdig to work pretty well on a site containing many PDF-Files. Cobalt Raq2 micorserver (mips) with RedHat based Linux After updating the C++ Compiler (see mailing list) I got rid of the segmenatition error messages and htdig worked well. Cryptic outputs of the search form were solved by adding a ".cgi" extension to htsearch in the local cgi-bin folder. Solution also found in the list - thanks to all those helpful people! I think the FAQ also has some pointers on getting the CGI to work. Because I wanted to get direct links to single PDF Pages out of the found excerpts I got the pdftodig.py script for external parsing of PDF-Files. (Do I have to mention that python IS NOT installed on Cobalt Raqs?) O.K. this problem could also be solved. It would also be a fairly trivial change to the perl scripts conv_doc.pl or doc2html.pl to make it replace form feeds in pdftotext output with the correct HTML a name="..." tags for the anchors. You'd then be using an external converter, rather than an external parser, and possibly avoiding parser-related problems. Now everything works pretty good with one little exception. Using a complete search string e.g. "Sensor" lists all matching documents and the text contains the search word (bold typeface) with a link to the specific single Page of the found PDF file. (Great!) Typing just a substring e.g. "Senso" in the search form seems to list same results. But unfortunately the links within the texts are gone. Sounds like one of two problems: 1) the maximum_word_length setting is too low, so you're getting truncated words in the database causing false matches which aren't found in the excerpt. 2) the pdftodig.py script is somehow truncating the words for the word records, or otherwise generating word records that don't match the words in the header record it puts out. Try running it manually on one of the PDFs where you had problems with false matches, and see what it puts out both in the "h" record and in the "w" records, to see if there are any discrepancies. Generally, entering just a substring in the search form isn't enough to get a match, unless you're using the prefix or substring fuzzy match algorithms. However, the fuzzy match algorithms generate an expanded list of matches so that all matched words should be highlighted. It seems to me that somehow you're getting substrings in your word database, which it the cause of the problem. -- Gilles R.

Re: [htdig] not showing child frames?
According to Oguz Altun: When searching pages that have frames, Htdig returns both the main page and the child frame. How can I get rid of that lonely frame? ;) Well you can exclude certain patterns using the restrict and exclude fields in the search form. Or you could add META robots tags to the frames that you don't want, e.g.: META name="ROBOTS" content="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW" Well, I want framed pages to be indexed and returned, but just in their respective parent windows. This is the big problem with frames. Unless you define each page to have its own unique frameset, there's no way to tell the browser with just one URL to go back to a particular frameset and page combination. If you do define each page as its own unique frameset, and you're 100% consistent in the naming convention you use for this, then it would probably be pretty easy to map the target page URLs back to their corresponding frameset URLs. However, I have yet to see a frames-based web site where this would be possible. -- Gilles R.

Real ambiguity arises when the same .conf file includes both a "config_dir:" statement, and one or more "include:" statements. Yup. I'm not sure what good a config_dir assignment would do. For the include files, it takes paths (relative or absolute) to the current file.

Re: [htdig] Multiple hits on the same page 'and' problem
According to Dhammika Gunawardena: I have 2 problems. This is an example of my first problem. I have the following contents on the same page: dog some text about dog good dog some text about good dog Now if I search for dog, only the first part appears in the search result. The results do not show that this page contains something about "good dog". I want my search results to show the same URL twice, one for "dog" and one for "good dog". I think what you want is something similar to what Jim Cole implemented in his multiple excerpt patch: ftp://ftp.ccsf.org/htdig-patches/3.1.5/Excerpts.0 The possible difference is his patch shows all matches in the excerpt, but only shows the URL once, if I recall correctly. My second problem is related to 'and' Suppose my page has something like this: man - human good man - good human I search for "good man" , my results show the first part. I want it to display all matches. Please tell me how to configure htdig for these. Well, if you're talking about phrase matching, i.e. only highlighting the exact phrase "good man" and not the individual words, that's coming in 3.2. See http://www.htdig.org/FAQ.html#q1.9 If you're not talking about phrase matching, then this is the same problem as the first one, and therefore the same solution should work. -- Gilles R.

Re: [htdig] not showing child frames?
This is possible with JavaScript. See the examples at "http://www.louisiana.edu/Academic/Bulletin/UN/" and "http://www.louisiana.edu/Academic/Bulletin/UN/". The application used to create the pages was Trellix 2.1 which was bundled with WordPerfect Suite 2000. Other versions of Trellix exist. This particular one was selected for its ability to import individual pages of a long document and to transform each page into a unique URI with full side-bar navigation. Both of the sites mentioned above are indexed and ready to be searched thanks to ht://dig and Trellix.

JavaScript then fetches the unique parent frame, which loads the page in the intended frameset.

However, I have yet to see a frames-based web site where this would be possible. Someone once told me that you could do this with JavaScript. (I guess it detected that it was the only frame and assembled the frameset.) I have not seen a working example of this. Perhaps some JavaScript gurus out there could provide one. -- -Geoff Hutchison Williams Students Online http://wso.williams.edu/ To unsubscribe from the htdig mailing list, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You will receive a message to confirm this.

Re: [htdig] not showing child frames?
I just found a really good article on this topic at zdnet's aforementioned site. http://www.zdnet.com/devhead/stories/articles/0,4413,2438662,00.html Is this worth a FAQ entry?

[htdig] Dummies Guide to Restricting searchs
I'm after the dummies guide to restricting searchs?
I have a number of email lists that I archive and make available on the
WWW with mhonarc.
I'm currently using htdig to allow searching of one list, but that is
invoked by
http://www.woa.com.au/cgi-bin/htsearch as supplied.
I would like to expand the searching to a number of lists from one
database, but obviously some one chasing genealogical info doesn't want
linux stuff, etc
I understand from my reading that I can restrict the search to returning
only results from one list. i.e. http://www.woa.com.au/lists/list-name
by using exclude and restrict parameters when htsearc is called.
My problem is that I don't understand HOW to go about this?
Can anyone point me to some further info/how-to/etc?

Thanks Geoff.
This is what I had read before posting, but the how-to-do-it eluded me
(html is rather limited). Then in the usual fashion of an illumination
coming as soon as you post to a list, I tried making the link read
http://www.woa.com.au/cgi-bin/htsearch?config=restrict=lists/slug
which seems to work and it carries the restriction forward for
successive searches. Seems because at the moment, it is still doing
indexing of the other areas.
Is this autocarry forward of the restriction reliable?
However, I'd like to allow them to enter a search value for the first
search rather than return an error message first up.
I've also looked at somewhere else that had a form (something I've never
used before) and cut-and-pasted into my page.
form method="get" action="/cgi-bin/htsearch"
pinput type="text" size="30" name="words" value=""
input type="submit" value="Search"/p
/form
I changed action to read
action="/cgi-bin/htsearch?config=restrict=/lists/slug" but it instantly
drops the restriction off the form.
Is this the way to do it?
Can anyone tell me why the restriction is dropped?
