In an example where an html file has an embedded quicktime 
movie with separate 'src' and 'href' attributes (for intro 
and main content, respectively) having relative urls, I 
guess that the Quicktime plugin expects the 'href' url to 
be relative to the 'src' url, contrary to what I'd expect.

so in this example excerpt
the quicktime plugin would request 
<http://www.site.com/media/video/qt/qt-logo.mov> for the intro
and then request 
<http://www.site.com/media/video/qt/dir3/file.mov> for the 
main content

whereas httrack correctly requests 
<http://www.site.com/media/video/qt/qt-logo.mov> for the 
intro and then (incorrectly) requests 
<http://www.site.com/dir1/dir2/dir3/file.mov> for the main 
content (HTTP404)



<!-- excerpt from www.site.com/dir1/dir2/moviepage.html -->

<object classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-
D3488ABDDC6B" width="480" height="380"

                      <param name="src" 
value="../../media/video/qt/qt-logo.mov">
                      <param name="autoplay" value="true">
                      <param name="controller" value="true">
                      <param name="href" 
value="dir3/file.mov">
                      <param name="target" value="myself">
                      <param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF">
                      <param name="cache" value="true">
                      <param name="type"

                      <param name="loop" value="false">

                      <embed src="../../media/video/qt/qt-
logo.mov" type="video/quicktime"

</object>



This is not a critical problem, but since httrack has so 
many sophisticated features, I figured you guys might be 
interested in this one.

Httrack is a really nifty program. Thanks!
