Using -j restriction

Post by **Thunderstone** » Thu Jan 14, 1999 10:20 am

I am using Webinator version 1.32 (I know I should upgrade but it keeps
getting 'bumped' by more pressing items) and would like to create a search
database of a specific directory on our Web site (ie, a small subset of
our site). I know that I need to use the -j option but I cannot get this
to work. Here is the command I am entering to index the /snn directory on
our Web site and store in the snn database file:

gw -dsnn -w0 -jhttp://www.stemnet.nf.ca/snn http://www.stemnet.nf.ca/snn

When it is run, I get the following response back:

Visited 0 pages total

Why is this not working?

That is not a properly formed directory url. It's missing the trailing
slash. You'll notice that your webserver redirects you to the right
url, but gw version 1 is pickier and won't even try to submit it.
