==================
I had severe problems with relative pathnames when I setup
a WAIS database of my local set of HTML pages.
The idea behind setting up this database was, that I would
be able to generate a projection of the Web based on a search.
After I retrieve a HTML Page from the WAIS database I want to
be able to follow all the links in the HTML Page.
But I experienced that I could only follow links with absolute
pathnames. A relative URL like "HREF=QuickGuide.html" was
translated to the following:
http://info:8001/info:21401/AB-WWW/HTML/2798/1=ikarus%3A21401;2=/hom
e/bloemer/docs/wais/wais-databases/AB-WWW;3=0%202798%20/home/bloemer/appl/inter
net/infosystems/www/tmp/WWW/LineMode/Defaults/Customisation.html;4=ikarus%3A214
01;5=/home/bloemer/docs/wais/wais-databases/AB-WWW;6=0%202798%20/home/bloemer/a
ppl/internet/infosystems/www/tmp/WWW/LineMode/Defaults/QuickGuide.html
This yields an error of 'Missing DocID in request'.
So if you want to setup a WAIS database for searching through your
information system the only way seems to be using absolute pathnames.
Or is the last statement wrong ?
