Hello,

We have started a  Webarchiving project at the 
University of Groningen.
For this project we have to download and archive sites 
of Dutch political parties. To perform the download we 
use Httrack version 3.05 (Unix-version). 

With this Unix version we have encountered a problem 
we can’t explain ourselves:
Httrack seems to interpret internal links sometimes as 
external links without any obvious reason.

I will try to explain our problem:

In the original page ‘index.html’ of the site 
<http://www.cda.nl/> a part looks like this:

<map name="link_top">
	<area shape="rect" coords="0,0,34,15" 
href="/articles/22/" alt="Partij">
	<area shape="rect" coords="35,0,114,15" 
href="/articles/43/" alt="Tweede Kamer">
	<area shape="rect" coords="115,0,189,15" 
href="/articles/23/" alt="Eerste Kamer">
	<area shape="rect" coords="190,0,264,15" 
href="/articles/41/" alt="Eurodelegatie">
	<area shape="rect" coords="265,0,294,15" 
href=http://www.cdja.nl/ alt="CDJA">
</map>
<map name="link_bottom">
	<area shape="rect" coords="0,0,109,13"

href="/articles/18/" alt="CDA-Vrouwen">

href="/afdelingen/" alt="CDA-afdelingen">
	<area shape="rect" coords="145,14,294,27" 
href="/articles/20/" alt="Internationale samenwerking

	<area shape="rect" coords="0,28,84,41"

	<area shape="rect" coords="170,28,254,41" 
href="/articles/729/" alt="Dertigersgroepen">
	<area shape="rect" coords="255,28,294,41" 
href="/articles/728/" alt="Overigen">
</map>

But in the download links are translated in external 
links:

<map name="link_top">
        <area shape="rect" coords="0,0,34,15" 
href="../external.html?link=www.cda.nl/articles/22/"

The probleem seems to occur only in the Unix version, 
we can’t reproduce this in the Windows version of 
Httrack.

Any help would be much appriciated.
If you need more information about this strange 
problem don’t hesitate to contact me.

Thanks in advance,
