Hi,

My hosting company (Telus) claims that htDig cannot index websites that =
make use of ASP (they use version 3.1.6 and it worked in the past).=20

Here's an excerpt of their email .....

....To summarize, the results that HtDig would receive from a site using =
a server side scripting language could easily be ambiguous if not =
meaningless. There really is no solution for this, as we cannot predict =
what a developer might chose to code or how they might choose the make =
the site work. The best that can be done is to realize that HtDig is a =
good tool for static (html) websites. Unfortunately, as a result of it's =
design and implementation, HtDig does not handle dynamically composed =
websites very well or in a consistant manner.

Any truth to this? Would upgrading to v3.2 resolve this (scripting) =
issue?
