What kind of files can be downloaded by HarvestMan?
HarvestMan can download *any* kind of file as long as it is served up by a web-server using HTTP/FTP/HTTPS. There are no restrictions on the type of file or the size of a single file. HarvestMan assumes that the URLs with the following extension are web-pages, static or dynamic. ‘.htm’, ‘.html’, ‘.shtm’, ‘.shtml’, ‘.php’,’.php3′,’.php4′,’.asp’, ‘.aspx’, ‘.jsp’,’.psp’,’.pl’,’.cgi’, ‘.stx’, ‘.cfm’, ‘.cfml’, ‘.cms’ The URL with no extension is also assumed to be a web-page. However, the program has a mechanism by which it looks at the URL headers of the HTTP request and figures out the actual file type of the URL by doing a mimetype analysis. This happens immediately after the HTTP request is answered by the server. So if the program finds that the assumed type of a URL is different from the actual type, it sets the type correctly at this point. You can restrict download of certain files by creating specific filters for HarvestMan. These are described in a section somewhere below. A relat
