Hello,
i ma sorry if it's not the best place to make this question, but i've a
problem that is driving me mad...
I've to write a really short program in Perl that mirrors a Web site.
The flow is quite simple:
sub Visit()
{
* Get the firse page
* Get the list of all links
* Visit() all the non-yet-visited pages
}
I didn't write here all the controls, but it's a simle recoursive
algorithm.
BUT.
The point is that if I find a link, i DON'T KNOW if it's a directory of a
file.
This is what i mean:
<A HREF="/dir1/dir2/file.html>
Ok, it's easy...
<A HREF="/dir1/README">
Hummmm... and now? Did I ask for a file called "README" in a directory
called "dir1", or did I ask for the file "index.html" in the directory
"dir1/README"?
The browser solves the problem, just because it's aqble to understand - i
don't know how - if the link is a directory or a file, 'cause when you
click on a relative link he find the good reference... but...
Who can *please* help me?
Ok... sorry if i bored you... :-)
Merc.
