You can to a high degree control how internal links are converted during website download.
It is even possible to have no link conversion done.
If you choose
not to correct links,
you will need to take care with webserver configuration when uploading the copied website.
The screenshot above shows typical settings for downloading and mirroring a website on he internet.
Note:
If you intend to distribute the downloaded website on offline media, e.g. to present it to clients,
you would usually enable option
Add .HTML file extension to page content URLs.
You may also want to experiment enabling option:
Convert to relative paths for browsing on local disk,
but it should not be necessary any longer with most modern Windows versions and/or browsers.
Note:
Please understand that URLs (e.g. dynamic URLs with GET "?" parameters) will sometimes be renamed
when the URL content is to be stored in a file on a disk. That is because file name requirements in
Windows are different than URLs. Files stored on disk have to obey certain file naming conventions.
When
A1 Website Download copies an entire website it
downloads and copies all
visible website elements such as HTML,
images and Javascript, the same as e.g. a search engine crawler or internet browser.
However, any server side code, e.g.
PHP or
ASP,
running at the webserver is not copied, only the resulting website output is.
