Does HarvestMan download dynamically generated server-side files ?

Yes. Server side files are generated during a regular client request to a web server which runs the server-side script (asp, jsp, php etc), and serves up the resulting file. Since this is like a regular HTTP request for HarvestMan, it downloads such files. However HarvestMan does not have a mechanism to prevent duplicate downloads of server-side files which generate the same content, but with different parameters to the server query. This could be added in a future version.
