I sometimes import documentation websites (e.g. Flet documentation, to have them locally when offline in the middle of nowhere.
I use the Import → Website functionality with the following settings:
However when I look at the resulting tree everything seems to get downloaded, just not the index.html files like https://flet.dev/docs/controls/index.html.
Why’s that? And is there a way to download them as well?
When I open this website, the URL doesn’t say anything about “index.html”. If the server does not provide this file, it might be difficult to download.
curl --head https://flet.dev/docs/controls/index.html
HTTP/2 308

location: /docs/controls/
…
Easy to see: The server sends a redirect to docs/control. Nobody has the chance to download index.html since the server doesn’t provide it.
Also: There’s no rule anywhere saying that an index.html must exist. This is simply the factory default for many web servers, but sites can change the default easily (for example to index.php)
True, @chrillek. Good point.
Still, it would be nice if DEVONthink downloaded the page document at /docs/controls/ and saved it under some file name… After all the url https://flet.dev/docs/controls does serve a document
