<p>This is an experimental blogpost with the goal of improving myself on the design of system programs.</p>
<p>The following words are a flow that tries to recapture the process that I follow when I program.</p>

<h2>The problem</h2>
<p>Yesterday I got an insider tip that probably http://isole.ecn.org/ might be taken down and I remembered that I had an old archive of the entire site.
Actually I am an amateur data hoarder so I keep archives/backups of pretty much everything I find amusing.</p>
<p>I wanted to update the archive so I used httrack.
I found the following problems:</p>
<ol>
<li>too slow (doesn't even use 1/20 of my connection)</li>
<li>doesn't understand that if I want to mirror ecn.org I may want isole.ecn.org as well</li>
<li>if I configure httrack to archive everything basically I hit some external websites (like google.com) and it starts archiving that as well</li>
<li>I can't configure it to avoid any external link because I may need them</li>
</ol>
<p>A perfect scraper for me would:
1. record a list of every external website it hit so that later I can archive them as well
2. allow me to scrape subdomains as well
3. configure a level of archiving for external websites</p>
<h2>The approach</h2>
<p>Right now httrack does a perfect job of storing the webpages with a coherent folder layout and offline browsing capabilities.
Let's see how it does that.</p>
<p>On the original page I can found:
<code>&lt;link rel='stylesheet' id='avia-google-webfont' href='//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lato:300,400,700' type='text/css' media='all'/&gt;</code></p>
<p>When httrack saves it:
<code>&lt;link rel='stylesheet' id='avia-google-webfont' href='../fonts.googleapis.com/css8f84.css?family=Lato:300,400,700' type='text/css' media='all'/&gt;</code></p>
