Two indexing issues

[Thunderstone]

I am using the "&filename" construct to add documents for indexing:
gw -d- "&index_list"

1. I have a .htaccess file in the "docs" path, so gw gives "401" message
and bombs saying that authorization is required to access the document.
Q: How do I supply authorization to gw short of removing the .htaccess
during indexing (which works, of course.)

2. When indexing in this way, gw seems to have forgotten the change in file
size limitation in the original indexing. Should this and other options be
supplied when indexing in the form give above. The original indexing
contains a "alnum" instruction which gw seems to have recalled just fine.

And keep in mind that webinator will now let users see the text portion
of those pages, without entering the password, unless you've modified
the script to not display full context or have added other protections
or your own.


Remembered options are not used unless you use -recall. You should
specify all desired options each time (except for one-shot options like
-unique and -dnscache) or use -recall and, optionally, -save.

The metamorph index used for searching remembers the -k settings itself
until you do -unindex. But it doesn't hurt to respecify them. Note that
you can not change -k options without first doing -unindex.
