Hi all,
Reading about indexing problems, I came to wonder whether wwwoffle might
have a function that would index its cache 'on the fly'. I think wwwoffle
might create a task running htdig and then send any new pages being
cached to that process, which in turn would take care of on the fly indexing.
Just a few thoughts
Remy
