I just installed Webinator commercial and in doing my initial testing I see
that gw is attempting to access domains which I expected would be excluded.
gw gives me errors like the following (taken directly from my log):
1998/03/27 11:18:40 Can't get address for host `www.oracle.com': 11001 -
unknown winsock error
1998/03/27 11:18:45 Can't get address for host `www.oracle.com': 11001 -
unknown winsock error
1998/03/27 11:18:51 Can't get address for host `www.oracle.com': 11001 -
unknown winsock error
1998/03/27 11:18:56 Can't get address for host `www.oracle.com': 11001 -
unknown winsock error
My gw command is:
gw -domain=vmb.ent.nwie.net -domain=nationwide.com -dd:/paul/webinator
-Iindex.htm -fshtml -fasp -o http://vmb.ent.nwie.net/~schulzp/
-xhttp://louie.lco.nw.nwie.net:8585/search97cgi
-xhttp://www.vmb.ent.nwie.net/callup?
-xhttp://www.vmb.ent.nwie.net/orgchart? -meta=keywords -w0 -p2000 -L
It appears that the -domain=vmb.ent.nwie.net -domain=nationwide.com should
limit webinator's walking to those 2 domains. For some reason webinator
tries to access them all anyway (or at least look them up in the DNS).
I just aded the -L thinking it would stop the nonsense.
Is there a way to prevent these accesses? Is there a way to prevent gw from
going after the same site multiple times (as shown above - it went after
oracle.com 4 times in a row)?
