Indexing ASP

Hi there-

Is there anything that can be done to Webinator in order to force it to index *.asp files?

Thanks-
Bill

Just add .asp to the extension list.

Thanks. We did that, but unfortunately, it's not working for some reason. Will keep trying.

Check the walk status and List/edit urls to see what's indexed and what errors may have occurred. Turn verbosity up to 4 to see the reason for every url rejection.

oops, sorry. no walkstatus etc on version 2. Check the gw output and gw.log files. Turn verbosity up to 9 to see all links and reasons.

Thanks - looking at the log helped.

It looks like webinator is successfully indexing pages that are simply something like:

pagename.asp

But, it is failing when there is a query attached:

ASSOC_NewsDetail.asp?News_ID=6

Thanks-
Bill

Make sure you're not using -Q or otherwise excluding urls with ? or _ in them.
