NAME

w3mfix - fixup program for w3mir

SYNOPSIS

w3mfix [-cfgfile file]

DESCRIPTION

w3mfix is the companion program to w3mir. It can be used for several URL editing operations usefull in different situations.

When starting w3mfix will read the specified configuration file, try to read .w3mirc (w3mir.ini on win32) if it's present in the current directory.

w3mfix is controlled by the 'fixup' directive of the configuration file. As well as 'Index-name' and ...

w3mfix can rewrite URLs in these ways:

  • Rewrite URLs that resutled in redirects to point to the place redirected to. This is needed in any case and will always be fixed by w3mfix.

  • Change URLs ending in .../ into .../index.html (or .../Welcome.html). This is not needed when the mirror is meant do be used with a web server. It is only usefull for browsing directly from disk or CDROM, but in this case it's most often required.

    The default is to transform URLs ending in .../ into
.../index.html.  To disable this specify the I<noindex>
option.

To controll the name of the index file use the I<Index-name>
directive as documented in L<w3mir>

  • Change URL links to documents outside the mirror to point to some local document. Could be usefull if the mirror is destined for a CDROM to be used on a unconnected machine.

    THIS IS NOT YET IMPLEMENTED

  • Change URL links to documents that w3mir was unable/forbidden to retrive to point to some local document. Pointing these to a nice informative document is probably better than random error messages from the browser.

    THIS IS NOT YET IMPLEMENTED
