Yes, httrack will never follow forms (forms with POST or
GET data), for two main reasons:
- complex to handle (multiple elements inside a form
object, and sometimes "non guessable" elements such as
lists, checkboxes, or text inputs)
- dangerous to handle (unlike regular links, "form" links
can have non-invariant actions, such as "delete a message"
or "send a mail" - imagine you download a complete site
following all "delete this message" or "reply to this
message" links..)
