> Actually to archive a website I use HTTrack. However I would like to browse
it offline exactly like if I was browsing it online. For example if I archive
the <http://www.lemonade-p.com/gameinfo.php?index=1> URL, HTTrack generates a
www.lemonade-p.com/gameinfo2ab3.html HTML page named from the gameinfo.php
script and query parameters. This way the page filename is unique. And when
browsing the archive I don't know that the gameinfo2ab3.html page was a
gameinfo.php PHP script. And even if the query is restored, index=1 is passed
to the "script", it's not like if I was browsing it online anymore.

> So I'm looking for a trick to offline browse an archive like if it was still
online. Patching HTTrack is an option even I could use a more evolved software
to offline browse my website, I checked the source code and it's not like
Alive was in Wonderland :).

You seem to understand why the archived file is named the way it is.  This is
the way with all dynamic/querystring pages.

I don't understand why you need to know that "gameinfo2ab3.html page was a
gameinfo.php PHP script" or what you would prefer it to be.

I believe there is an option to retain original extensions (eg. keep .php
instead of changing to .html) but that is not going to work offline.
