Web Magnet - badly written downloader?

[jmccormac]

Just going through logs and I noticed that a fairly standard handcoding technique made mincemeat of this particular maggot. On a lot of pages on one of my sites, the ahref begins with "./". Whatever way that this maggot was picking the url from the html, it was appending the subindex page to the end of the webpage url so that it was requesting "sitename.com/filename.html./subindex.html". It was purely accidental that it caused the maggot to act in this fashion but it is the only time I have seen this happen.

I believe this is your culprit?http ://www.crd.rca.ac.uk/alumni/00-02/jez/HTML/crd2/web_magnet_01.htm

It also appears to me from the words of the pages that any resulting visitors would not be interested in the content of your pages. Rather just a device to interpet your content in an alternative way than you intended :-(

Perhaps I'm wrong?
