NAME¶

proxytrack - proxy to serve content archived by httrack website copier

SYNOPSIS¶

proxytrack <proxy-addr:proxy-port> <ICP-addr:ICP-port> [archive ..] [--list <file-list>]
proxytrack --convert <output> [archive ..] [--list <file-list>]

DESCRIPTION¶

proxytrack serves pages already archived by httrack(1) without going online. It answers HTTP proxy requests on the first address. It answers ICP queries, such as the ones Squid sends, on the second address. It reads httrack caches (hts-cache/new.zip, or the older new.ndx with new.dat) and .arc files. The archived content can also be browsed under /webdav on the proxy address.

With --convert, it merges the archives into a single .zip cache or .arc file instead, then exits.

OPTIONS¶

--convert <output>
