| I am using WinHTTrack Website Copier 3.23
Each html file i download from a main web site is related to
other html files via query strings. Periodicaly some
children files are added and consequently the parent one is
modified.
I use the local structure ' %n.%t ' for recording linked
files and hide the query strings.
First time i download such files via WinHTTrack, its quite
good. I get result like this
(Parent file)
Info: engine: transfer-status: link added:
ffg.org/histo_int/historique2.htm?name=D&nolic=517769114 ->
D:/golf/scoresCathyD/historique2.htm
(Children files)
Info: engine: transfer-status: link added:
ffg.org/histo_int/score.htm?code=0446944&num=41 ->
D:/golf/scoresCathyD/score.htm
Info: engine: transfer-status: link added:
ffg.org/histo_int/score.htm?code=0446944&num=40 ->
D:/golf/scoresCathyD/score-2.htm
and so on
Problem is when updating the site. If one child file as been
added and the parent one modified from the main site i get
this result:
(Parent file)
Info: engine: transfer-status: link updated:
ffg.org/histo_int/historique2.htm?name=D&nolic=517769114 ->
D:/golf/scoresCathyD/historique2.htm
(Children files)
Info: engine: transfer-status: link added:
ffg.org/histo_int/score.htm?code=0446944&num=42 ->
D:/golf/scoresCathyD/score.htm
Info: engine: transfer-status: link updated:
ffg.org/histo_int/score.htm?code=0446944&num=41 ->
D:/golf/scoresCathyD/score-2.htm
Info: engine: transfer-status: link updated:
ffg.org/histo_int/score.htm?code=0446944&num=40 ->
D:/golf/scoresCathyD/score-3.htm
etc...
that means each file stored on disk before, is automaticaly
renamed and consequently winhttrack has to regrab the all
site instead of just updating the parent one and adding the
last child. In many case its very inconvenient, it can be
100 children links and more by parent....
Would it be possible to avoid this situation by using a
special option which would work like this:
(first download)
Info: engine: transfer-status: link added:
ffg.org/histo_int/score.htm?code=0446944&num=41 ->
D:/golf/scoresCathyD/score-41.htm
Info: engine: transfer-status: link added:
ffg.org/histo_int/score.htm?code=0446944&num=40 ->
D:/golf/scoresCathyD/score-40.htm
(next update)
Info: engine: transfer-status: link added:
ffg.org/histo_int/score.htm?code=0446944&num=42 ->
D:/golf/scoresCathyD/score-42.htm
that is to say, there is no need to redownload old files and
process is very quick now??
thanks for reading this
