This article may read slightly like an advertisement, but there is nothing to be gained by the makers of HTTrack by you using the software since it's GNU licensed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.233.124.151 (talk) 21:29, 5 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't explain what "recursively" means or what a "chron job" is. So it's a pretty obscure advert. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.47.125.194 (talk) 22:17, 7 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bugs Section

[edit]

The wording of the 'Bugs' Section is strange and looks like original research.

'It can be used for small websites only which can be downloaded all at once' - well, what does that mean? I've personally used the update feature successfully.

'HTTrack is unable to interpret the HTTP header "Content-Type" correctly'. Maybe true, but this this seems to be the design of the program, and hence not a bug.

Citations needed, please, before adding this kind of material. 222.239.174.26 (talk) 03:00, 23 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bug regarding --continue or --update needs to be removed. Post-3.23 versions of HTTrack have the bug fixed. Tatsh (talk) 06:10, 20 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Note from the author: httrack is definitely able to interpret the HTTP header "Content-Type" correctly ; you can test this by mirroring these two URls:

httrack "http://www.httrack.com/test_type2/get.htm?1234" "http://www.httrack.com/test_type/fake_image.gif"

Will correctly produce "fake_image.html" and "get81dc.gif"

And regarding the update issue, this was currently only reproduced because of a corrupted index, and/or server-side problems (dynamic pages not handling update requests correctly)

I removed the section. -- BenRG (talk) 01:25, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The main website is down, does anyone know the status of the developers? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.232.83.206 (talk) 07:40, 20 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Lack of citable sources

[edit]

Note from the author of HTTrack (xroche): I do not know whether it may be considered as citable source (and I won't discuss on the opportunity to keep the page - due to obvious conflicts of interest!), but several studies and/or pages are citing (sometimes very briefly - the main topic is not generally httrack itself) httrack:

And brief citations from the following sources:

  • Penetration Tester's Open Source Toolkit - Jeremy Faircloth (ISBN 978-1597496278)
  • How to Start A Home-Based Web Design Business, 4th - Jim Smith (ISBN 978-0762759552)
  • Placing the Suspect Behind the Keyboard: Using Digital Forensics and Investigative Techniques to Identify Cybercrime Suspects - Brett Shavers (ISBN 978-1597499859)
  • Malware Forensic Field Guide for Windows Systems: Digital Forensics Field Guides - Cameron H. Malin, James M. Aquilina, Eoghan Casey (ISBN 978-1597494724)

Other "online-only" citations:

Again, these may not be considered as sources, depending on what is considered as a valid source. And the cited samples are neither exhaustive, nor necessarily perfectly representative. Xavier Roche (talk) 08:19, 7 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
