The (not too) recent changes to the LASTOUT index as regards POST
requests are an enormous improvement for me.

Now, the last thing I am aware of that does not quite work the way I
would like in the LASTOUT index are items like

  
<http://localhost:8080/refresh-recurse/?url=http://www.pmsf.de/pub/cmucl/doc/cmu-user/;depth=5;limit=http://www.pmsf.de/pub/cmucl/doc/cmu-user/;images=Y;frames=Y>

i.e., cases where the "outgoing" URL was actually an instruction for
WWWOFFLE to fetch pages recursively.  Selecting that link from the
LASTOUT index does not have the desired effect of informing me about
the pages that were fetched, and I have to remember the URL and search
the LASTTIME index instead for these items.

Would it be possible (with reasonable effort) to make sure that the
LASTOUT index links to a page listing the new pages recursively
fetched or something like that?  I assume this information would be
available by parsing the starting page and checking the LASTTIME
index.  (Ideally, one would then be able to sort pages as on the index
pages.  Or one might also present pages in a tree structure
corresponding to the "generations" of the recursive fetch.)

Alternatively, it would already be an improvement if selecting that
link in the LASTOUT index led to a page stating that this links
represents a recursive selection of items that can be reached starting
from some URL (http://www.pmsf.de/pub/cmucl/doc/cmu-user/ in the above
example) that is then linked to.

Best regards, and thanks to Andrew for WWWOFFLE -

Albert.
