Can the dowalk script index Microsoft Excel 97 files? I have the commercial version of Webinator with the plug-in. In the <$acceptmime= I am using "application/msexcel". And I set <acceptext ext=".xls">.
When I run do walk, the log file seems to index the .xls just like all the rest but I cannot find the file in the searches.
It depends on what the server is sending. But if the mime type is wrong it will still catch it by extension. And even if it doesn't get processed by the plugin it should still be in the database. Is it in the database?
gw -st "select * from html where Url='thehostname/thepath/thefile.xls'"
Note that case is significant in the filename and extension.
It will depend on what your webserver if configured to set for the Excel files. You could try a small script to fetch one, and see what is returned, e.g.
You would want to change the mime type in the script to match what the webserver is sending, in case the web-server is not sending it if you aren't accepting it. Also in the select you should not have the http://, i.e.
gw -st "select * from html where Url='172.18.21.40/retweb/test.xls'"
