Humm. First problem: the filename ends with "/", which is 
generally used for top index in folders. httrack then 
assume that the link is an html file.

You have to disable this behaviour, using
'Set options' / 'Spider' / 'Check document type' to 'If 
unknown'

But this is a rather strange idea.

The second problem is that the CGI behing is dumb and is 
not able to answer properly to "HEAD" requests, which is 
totally incompatible with RFC2616. httrack is using head 
requests to detect the document type before naming it, so 
this is a problem:

HEAD
/catalogue/category117/product838/image/?size=300x300&helper=1049354555.01
HTTP/1.0
Host: shop.magicmomentsgiftware.com.au:8080

HTTP/1.0 200 OK
Server: Zope/(Zope 2.4.3 (source release, python 2.1, 
linux2), python 2.1.1, linux2) ZServer/1.1b1

For that, there is fortunetaly a hack:
'Set options' / 'Spider' / 'Force old HTTP/1.0 requests'

With these two settings adjusted, it should now work 
properly.
