Mysterious Errors on Walk Report

1) in duplicate pages area, 2 PDF's that are unrelated came up as duplicates. However, both of them are scanned documents (so no text to index) and probably don't yet have PDF titles - because of this, does Webinator view them as identical?

2) in broken links area, got the following error:

The link: http://countynet/procure/boilerplate/so ... sasche.wpd
Referenced by : http://countynet/procure/boilerplate/
Had this error: Unknown client error: http://countynet/procure/boilerplate/so ... sasche.wpd returned code 406 (No acceptable objects were found)

I realize that Webinator can't index WPD files, but why is it trying, since in the walk settings I'm telling it to index only Web files, text files, .PDF and .DOC?

1) Yes, Webinator indexes text, not graphics. If there's no text they will be considered the same.

2) It shouldn't do that unless you specify that extension or turn on "all extensions" or maybe if it's in an iframe. Can you give the actual url so that we can look at that site and figure out what it's doing?

2) It's an Intranet site, so I can't really show it to you. My extensions option looks like: .html .htm .txt .pdf .asp .doc

I don't know what an iframe is, but we're not using frames, if they're related.

What about the "All extensions" flag?

it's set to N.

Inline IFrames are set to Y - should I switch this to N?

Also, if we're not using frames should the value of MaxFrames be set to 0?

It doesn't matter what the MaxFrames settings is if you're not using frames. You could try it with iframes set to N. I'm having trouble figuring how it could get an extension you didn't include in "extensions" if "all extensions" is not Y.

You're not specifying the .wpd file in "URL File", "URL URL", "Single Page", "Page File", or "Page URL" are you?

No, those are all blank.

The only thing vaguely relating to WP is in Mime types, where there's the following entry:

application/wordperfect

It might be worth just looking at the source to the http://countynet/procure/boilerplate/ page to see where the .wpd file is referenced, e.g. <A HREF> or something different.

It doesn't look too weird, although we do have 2 links sharing the same TD. The really odd thing is that only some of the WPD links are erroring out, and - even weirder - the errors aren't consistent between indexes. In some cases, I even get an error on one of the DOC files, as follows:

The link : http://countynet/procure/boilerplate/so ... ndment.doc
Referenced by : http://countynet/procure/boilerplate/
Had this error: Unknown client error: http://countynet/procure/boilerplate/so ... ndment.wpd returned code 406 (No acceptable objects were found)

The TD with these links looks like this:

<td align=center><a href="sourcedocs/PPSABoilerplateAmendment.pdf">View</a>
<br><br>Download
<br><a href="sourcedocs/PPSABoilerplateAmendment.wpd">Wordperfect</a>
<br><a href="sourcedocs/PPSABoilerplateAmendment.doc">MS Word</a></td>

Are you cutting and pasting these messages or typing them? This example seems to indicate that the request for PPSABoilerplateAmendment.doc got redirected to PPSABoilerplateAmendment.wpd which then caused the error. Maybe that's what happened with the earlier ones too?

The 406 code is the webserver's answer to webinator when it asks for a page. If it doesn't return consistent answers webinator can't do anything about it.
