Converting URL's

Post by Thunderstone »




Some sites link to ~ pages using %7E (w3.arizona.edu/%7Efso), and some
just use ~ (w3.arizona.edu/~fso). The result is a lot of duplication in
the database of some sites. It seems like -unique might solve that
problem, but how much will that increase walk time? Is there some other
way to configure gw to recognize that these two URL's are the same?

-unique should solve your problem and won't noticeably increase walk time.
You will need to wipe and recreate your entire database with -unique enabled
though.
