This are Frequently Asked Questions on using pavuk. Here is only few entries
because I am bit lazy to update this document. I will very appreciate if you
find some problem and solution for it, if you write FAQ entry and send it to
my address. It will help me to reduce my load on responding to help requests
and I will have more time to code.

Q: I am using firewall to access internet. Can pavuk go through it ?
A: Yes. You can use proxys for HTTP, HTTPS, FTP and Gopher.

   For HTTP proxy use -http_proxy host:port .

   For HTTPS proxy use -ssl_proxy host:port . Pavuk require HTTP proxy with 
   enabled CONNECT request.

   For Gopher proxy use -gopher_proxy host:port . It can use optionaly HTTP 
   gateway for accessing gopher servers (use -gopher_httpgw option) or can
   use HTTP proxy with enabled CONNECT request.

   For FTP proxy use -ftp_proxy host:port . Pavuk can use three different
   methods for going through firewall. You can use HTTP gateway for FTP 
   (option -ftp_httpgw). You can use native FTP proxy. And third option is 
   to use HTTP proxy with enabled CONNECT request (option -ftp_dirtyproxy)

   If you firewall supports SOCKS 4 or SOCKS 5 proxy, you can compile pavuk 
   to support it. You need only development libraries for this protocols.

Q: I am using FWTK for my firewall, but I can't download any files trougth
   FTP proxy.
A: FTP proxy included in FWTK doesn't support pasive data transfers. 
   Use option -ftp_active to use active mode of FTP data connections.

---
Q: I have different scenarios, which I want to execute automaticaly. Is it 
   possible to serialize scenarios execution with pavuk?
A: You can use shell or any scripting language to write short script to do 
   this. Here is example how to use it with sh or bash :

	for scn in *.scn; do pavuk -scndir . -scenario $scn;done

---
Q: I see any files begining with .in_. What does it mean ?
A: This files uses pavuk as temporary files while file is downloaded. When 
   transfer of file fails, this file contains the transfered part, wich is 
   used for next reget (if possible). This files are used for locking of 
   documents too.

---
Q: I want to allways start pavuk with GUI interface. Is there any chance how to
   set it up in ~/.pavukrc file ?
A: No. There isn't any chance to set it in ~/.pavukrc, but you can use aliasing
   mechanizm of your shell. For example:

   csh:  alias xpavuk 'pavuk -X'
   bash: alias xpavuk='pavuk -X'

---
Q: Is there any chance how to force pavuk not to build whole directory 
   hierarchy for local document tree ?
A: There are two different ways now to do this :

   1) You can use option -base_level to cut some levels from hierarchy.
      For example:
      you are downloading http://www.site.tld/manual/automake/automake_toc.html
      and you want to store it only in automake directory.
      use -base_level 3.

   2) You can also use option -fnrules to do this job.
      For example you can put all downloaded files into single directory:
      -fnrules 'F' '*' '/directory/%n'

---
Q: When I am running pavuk with GUI, is there any chance how to close or 
   restart Xserver, without breaking pavuk?
A: Yes it is posible with lot of limitations. At first pavuk must be executed
   as background job (run pavuk with pavuk -X &; or pavuk - X -bg; or stop
   pavuk with CTRL-Z from shell, and then put in to backgraund with bg shell
   command). Then you can use "Go Bg" button, which will discard all pavuk
   windows from screen as soon as it will be safe (transfer of current document
   must finish) and then will close the connection to XServer.

---
Q: When I am downloading documents with some special characters as ?&*, 
   stored document tree is not browsable. I want to convert this characters
   to some others.
A: This is posible with -tr_chr_chr option. 

		for example use -tr_chr_chr '?&*' _

   and all of ?&* charcters becomes _ character. If you want to make this 
   default behavior, set in your ~/.pavukrc file :
   
		TrChrToChr: "?&*" "_"

---
Q: Does pavuk preserve symbolic links with FTP servers ?
A: Yes it does. But you have to use option -ftplist to enable this feature.

---
Q: How can I download complex site to single directory without subdirectories?
A: Use following options :

   a) (works with 0.9pl19 and higher)
		-store_info -fnrules F '*' '/directory/%n'
   b) (works with 0.9pl20 and higher)
		-store_info -base_level 1000 -cdir /home/my/directory

   option -store_info is optional with version 0.9pl20 and higher,
   but is required if you want make synchroniztion in future 
   (see manual for description)

---
Q: In sync mode I am using option -remove_old, but pavuk don't want to remove
   documents which have just disapeared from remote server. Is this bug ?
A: No this is not bug. Pavuk needs to know which directory contains your
   mirror, to be able to find files which belongs to it. So you have to use
   with option -remove_old also option -subdir to specify that directory.

   For example:
   If you are mirroring http://www.idata.sk/~ondrej/pavuk/ to directory
   /home/my/mirror , use command :

   pavuk -mode sync http://www.idata.sk/~ondrej/pavuk/ -dont_leave_dir \
         -remove_old -cdir /home/my/mirror/ \
         -subdir /home/my/mirror/http/www.idata.sk_80/~ondrej/pavuk/

   and removing of old documents will work well for you.

Q: Pavuk tells me "stat: no such file or directory" but all the files seem
   to be in the local document tree, just where they belong. What's going on?
A: This happens when you're deleting temporary files with an external program
   or script via the -post_cmd switch and then try to rewrite links that are
   embedded in new incoming documents. By issuing the abovementioned error 
   message, pavuk tells you that something's wrong (i.e., the file that is 
   being referenced in an incoming document is no longer in the local document 
   tree) but it's not crucial as pavuk rewrites the link to the remote 
   destination nevertheless.
