Re: Improve export-to-html recipe

Ok, I see now that $EnableRobotCloakActions was missing the dollar sign in =
our config.php resulting in a php parse error!

But still  --reject-regex '(.*)\?(.*)'  is useful with wget.

For known bot user agents, $EnableRobotCloakActions and $RobotActions
would cause links to be rewritten to not show ?action URLs in the HTML
source, and to return an error 403 Forbidden, not 500, if the agent
tries to access a forbidden action.

Moreover, wget is not among the default known bot user agents, so it
wouldn't activate the rewriting or blocking.

An internal server error 500 often appears when there is a problem with
one of the scripts, either an error or a PHP incompatibility in local
configuration, in a recipe, or in the core.

It may also be unrelated to PmWiki, say a web application firewall
configuration.

Are there any fatal error details in the PHP error log?
