| I've seen an interesting phenomenon recently when using
HTTrack GUI 3.30 on Win2k, saving the harvested site up to
a Unix box.
If a project name contains punctuation, eg Foo, Bar, Com
then HTTrack seems to fall over in one of two ways.
Firstly it seems to ignore the project name containing
punctuation and create its own project name comprising the
string before the first punctuation mark, eg Foo. HTTrack
creates this as a folder and places the harvested web site
into it. This leaves two folders for the project at the
location specified for the project. Also it is not
correctly re-writing internal URLs of harvested sites and
does not create an external.html. If the No external
files option is checked all external links point to a
browser generated File not found error.
Secondly in some cases HTTrack wont harvest a site with a
project name containing punctuation. It creates the error
message Unable to create log file affairs,sitec:\My Web
Sites\womens,affairs,site\hts-log.txt The error message
suggests reading the log file for more information but the
log file doesnt exist.
I can recreate both situations quite easily. Obviously the
lesson here is to create project names without punctuation!
But has anyone else found this issue? Is it a bug or just
poor usage on our part?
Thanks for all your work on 3.30 Xavier, in all other
respects Im having no problems with it! dnt
