I cannot use httrack for a purpose that would be the most useful, e.g. to
return documents from a documentary database on the web.
In the database there are generated index files containing links (to
documents) like this:
<http://www.somewebsite.com/docs/pdfgate.cgi?id=2&filename=somefilename.pdf>
When I use SaveTargetAs in Internet Explorer then IE always finds out that the
target file is a pdf document and offers somefilename.pdf as the default
filename while saving. The documents may also be in .doc, .xls, etc. files,
but IE recognizes them all.
Httrack cannot do this: it generates a new, unique filename for each file and
saves them as html files.
These files cannot be used for anything afterwards: cannot open them because
of the wrong extension, and the filename of each document that contains
important information (document id, edition, version, etc.) is lost and should
be recovered manually.
How can I achive that httrack handle such links as IE does, or is it possible
at all?
