Indexing doesn't work unless your target has a "links" via "<a href=something>something</a>" tags.

I can make it work by artificially populating the index.html/php file, but what I'd like to do is make it index what ever it finds in the directory and it seems like that means the spider has to be modified.

FWIW, I've also found that it can be somewhat unreliable in terms of stepping thru a long list of files when the files have to be converted to text. I've never been able to get thru a complete but long list of referenced files and when it quits, it leaves the system (PHPDig, not the base computer) in "locked" mode, which I have yet to figure out how to gracefully UNlock.

YMMV but so far, I don't see it as quite ready for prime time, but I would LOVE to be corrected on that! lol.

Best to all who shall hear these presents.
