| | I am trying to download a few files from a staging area at Apache. This area is
organised as a hierarchy of folders, and I want only a part of it, so I point
directly to the required folder and put the -D option to stay below this
level. However, httrack still goes upwards and attempts to download a lot more
file if I don't set the last / at the end of the URL. Here is the example:
httrack <https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/commons/dbcp> -O /tmp/dist -D

help..

At the end I do have not only the dbcp folder, but also all its siblings. I do
not have other files from two levels above, though, only files at the same
level as the initial URL.

If I do use a / as the last character, it works OK:
httrack <https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/commons/dbcp/> -O /tmp/dist -D
I suggest this case should either be explained in the man page, or (better for
me) some specific check added. When I end an URL with some/path/with/folder, I
clearly don't want some/path/with/thousands-of-other-sibling-folders, even if
I don't put a final /. | |
