OK. The only option I gave was "--help". When that came back showing that the
current values of "--url-prefix" and "--thumbnail-url-prefix" had "file:" in
them, I dived into the code. There I found that the stuff which would
substitute in the "http" URLs if public_html was in the path had "localhost"
hard-coded into them - changing the prefixes would not change anything (I
thought). As an example,
# is the urlprefix in ~/public_html? create a http-url
$lURLPrefix=~s[^file:/home/users/davids/public_html/][http://$lHostname/~davids/];
this had "localhost" where I now have $lHostname (which is set using my new
"--hostname" option).
It seems that I misunderstood the way you intended these prefix options to be
used. Just above this is:
$lURLPrefix= $lOptions{'url-prefix'} || $lURLPrefix ||
"file:$lImageDirectory";
so if I had given the option "--url-prefix
http://viper.csse.monash.edu.au/~davids/" all would have been well. I was
thrown off by seeing the "file:/" after typing the "--help" option when I knew
that I was already getting "http:" style URLs. I then went looking for
"localhost" in the code, since this was really what I wanted to fix. So, I
would say that my "--hostname" option is unnecessary, but useful (at least for
me).
Cheers,
David
