I'm hoping to use Webinator to implement search for a customer, but I have
a problem. When I supply the following URL to search:

http://XX.XX.XX.XX/cgi-bin?pagename=junk/index.html

According to the Webinator messages that print out, it shows:
http://XX.XX.XX.XX/cgi-bin?pagename=junk/

As the URL being searched. I need to make sure the index.html is not
dropped, since it is required information passed to the cgi program. Please
help!

thanks,
dan

Use the -I option to change the assumed name of the "index" page to something
else. If you change it, you could get the same page twice in the forms:
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/dir/
and
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/dir/index.html
if your site references it both ways.

You might want to use the -unique option to avoid that.
