HTMLgobble
==========

(c) 18.2.94 by Andreas Ley	(u) 7.3.94

This is a prerelease, working, but not to the extend I intended.
Since now I prefer caching over mirroring, I won't put much more
work in this, but I see that there are cases where mirroring
would be useful. Thus I make this piece of code available to
the public, but use it at your own risk!

What htmlgobble still lacks, and I may add this, if there is a need,
is to _update_ a mirror, i.e. to check via HEAD wether re-retrieval
is needed. Now it decides on the fact of _existance_ of a file...
Push me, and I'll implement it ;-)

For a first try, edit (in htmlgobble.c) the identify line at the very top
to include _your_ email-address, do "make" and then
"htmlgobble -rv -S0 http://your.server/some/diretory/some-document.html"
and please choose a directory with not so many documents and subdirectories
in it. Htmlgobble tries to get the document and all documents linked to
that reside in the same directory or in its subdirectories.
When you run it on a remote server, please ommit the -S0 switch.

Hope this is a help to you. Mail me, if you have problems (or even mail
me, if everything's fine, I like getting mail ;-)

Bye, Andy
