Indexing of content referenced in EMBED tags

Hi everybody,

does Webinator by default not follow links that are placed inside of an EMBED tag?

For example:

<embed src="qdoc-1712?show=svg" name="flo" type="image/svg+xml" style="width:677px; height:550px;"></embed>

My Webinator config is setup so that it should accept everey mime type (*/*).

I try to index some svg files (not the graphics, but the text they contain).
It works pretty well when I reference the svg-url directly, but as soon as the url is located inside the EMBED tag, Webinator doesn't try to index it.

Is there anything that can be done?

Thanks a lot for your efforts.

Stephan

Webinator does not currently follow <EMBED> tags. Support for them is in development, and should be available in an April 2005 release.
