💖 NAME 💖

Okay bestie, this is httrack(1) from the General Commands Manual — and it’s literally the offline browser: copy websites to a local directory. 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

The whole flag parade is here. Do not lose a single bracket, or the terminal will side-eye you. 😭

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So httrack lets you download a World Wide Web site from the Internet into a local directory, building recursively all directories and grabbing HTML, images, and other files from the server to your computer. It arranges the original site’s relative link-structure. Then you literally open a page of the "mirrored" website in your browser, and you can browse the site from link to link, as if you were viewing it online. No cap. HTTrack can also update an existing mirrored site, and resume interrupted downloads. 💅

🎀 EXAMPLES 🎀

Mirror one site and only that site:

httrack www.example.com/bob/

mirror site www.example.com/bob/ and only this site

Mirror two sites together, with shared links, and accept any .jpg files on .com sites:

httrack www.example.com/bob/ other.example.com/mike/ +*.com/*.jpg -mime:application/*

mirror the two sites together (with shared links) and accept any .jpg files on .com sites

httrack www.example.com/bob/bobby.html +* -r6
httrack www.example.com/bob/bobby.html --spider -P proxy.example.com:8080
httrack --update
httrack
httrack --continue

💅 OPTIONS 💅

Every flag, every default, every weird little * — all here. The little * marks are kept exactly where the original put them, bestie. ✨

🫶 General options 🫶

  • -O — path for mirror/logfiles+cache (-O path_mirror[,path_cache_and_logfiles]) (--path <param>). This is where the mirror, logfiles, and cache go. 💖

🎬 Action options 🎬

  • -w — *mirror web sites (--mirror). Iconic main character move.
  • -W — mirror web sites, semi-automatic (asks questions) (--mirror-wizard). It’s giving guided tour energy.
  • -g — just get files (saved in the current directory) (--get-files). No big recursive website production, just files.
  • -i — continue an interrupted mirror using the cache (--continue). Your “we were so back” option.
  • -Y — mirror ALL links located in the first level pages (mirror links) (--mirrorlinks). ALL of them, bestie. 👑

🌈 Proxy options 🌈

  • -P — proxy use (-P [socks5://|connect://][user:pass@]proxy:port) (--proxy <param>).
  • -%f — *use proxy for ftp (f0 don't use) (--httpproxy-ftp[=0]).
  • -%b — use this local hostname to make/send requests (-%b hostname) (--bind <param>).

🍓 Limits options 🍓

  • -rN — set the mirror depth to N (* r9999) (--depth[=N]).
  • -%eN — set the external links depth to N (* %e0) (--ext-depth[=N]).
  • -mN — maximum file length for a non-html file (--max-files[=N]).
  • -mN,N2 — maximum file length for non html (N) and html (N2).
  • -MN — maximum overall size that can be uploaded/scanned (--max-size[=N]).
  • -EN — maximum mirror time in seconds (60=1 minute, 3600=1 hour) (--max-time[=N]).
  • -AN — maximum transfer rate in bytes/seconds (1000=1KB/s max) (--max-rate[=N]).
  • -%cN — maximum number of connections/seconds (*%c5) (--connection-per-second[=N]).
  • -%G — random pause of MIN[:MAX] seconds between files (e.g. %G5:10) (--pause <param>).
  • -%JN — longest Retry-After obeyed, in seconds (*%J60, 0=no wait) (--max-retry-after[=N]).
  • -GN — pause transfer if N bytes reached, and wait until lock file is deleted (--max-pause[=N]).

🚦 Flow control 🚦

  • -cN — number of multiple connections (*c4) (--sockets[=N]).
  • -TN — timeout, number of seconds after a non-responding link is shutdown; also bounds host name resolution (--timeout[=N]).
  • -RN — number of retries, in case of timeout or non-fatal errors (*R2) (--retries[=N]).
  • -JN — traffic jam control, minimum transfert rate (bytes/seconds) tolerated for a link (--min-rate[=N]).
  • -HN — host is abandoned if: 0=never, 1=timeout, 2=slow, 3=timeout or slow (--host-control[=N]).
  • -%P — *extended parsing, attempt to parse all links, even in unknown tags or Javascript (%P0 don't use) (--extended-parsing[=0]).
  • -n — get non-html files 'near' an html file (ex: an image located outside) (--near).
  • -t — test all URLs (even forbidden ones) (--test).
  • -%L — <file> add all URL located in this text file (one URL per line) (--list <param>).
  • -%S — <file> add all scan rules located in this text file (one scan rule per line) (--urllist <param>).
  • -%m — seed the crawl from the site's sitemap (robots.txt Sitemap:, then /sitemap.xml); --sitemap-url URL names one explicitly. A sitemap you name, or one the site declares, is fetched even under robots.txt Disallow; only the guessed /sitemap.xml obeys it. The URLs found still pass every filter and scope rule (--sitemap).

🧚 Build options 🧚

  • -NN — structure type (0 *original structure, 1+: see below) (--structure[=N]) or user defined structure (-N "%h%p/%n%q.%t", --structure or --user-structure). --structure takes one preset or template: -N1L0 clusters more short options, --structure=1L0 is refused.
  • -%N — delayed type check, don't make any link test but wait for files download to start instead (experimental) (%N0 don't use, %N1 use for unknown extensions, * %N2 always use) (--delayed-type-check[=N]).
  • -%D — cached delayed type check, don't wait for remote type during updates, to speedup them (%D0 wait, * %D1 don't wait) (--cached-delayed-type-check[=0]).
  • -%M — generate a RFC MIME-encapsulated full-archive (.mht) (--mime-html[=0]).
  • -%Z — after the mirror, rewrite each saved page with its stylesheets, scripts, images and fonts inlined as data: URIs, so any page opens by double-click anywhere (links between pages stay relative; audio and video stay links); --single-file-max-size N caps each asset (default 10485760 bytes). %M is the better container where a Chromium-family browser is a given: one archive, no base64 tax on text, a shared asset stored once (--single-file[=0]).
  • -%t — keep the original file extension, don't rewrite it from the MIME type (%t0 rewrite).
  • -LN — long names (L1 *long names / L0 8-3 conversion / L2 ISO9660 compatible) (--long-names[=N]).
  • -KN — keep original links (e.g. http://www.adr/link) (K0 *relative link, K absolute links, K4 original links, K3 absolute URI links, K5 transparent proxy link) (--keep-links[=N]).
  • -x — replace external html links by error pages (--replace-external).
  • -%x — do not include any password for external password protected websites (%x0 include) (--disable-passwords[=0]).
  • -%q — *include query string for local files (useless, for information purpose only) (%q0 don't include) (--include-query-string[=0]).
  • -%g — strip query keys for dedup ([host/pattern=]key1,key2,...) (--strip-query <param>).
  • -%C — fold other hostnames of one site onto it ([scheme://]alias[,...]=[scheme://]host) (--host-alias <param>).
  • -o — *save the server's error pages (404..) (o0 discard them) (--generate-errors[=N]).
  • -X — *purge old files after update (X0 keep delete) (--purge-old[=0]).
  • -%p — preserve html files 'as is' (identical to '-K4 -%F ""') (--preserve).
  • -%T — links conversion to UTF-8 (--utf8-conversion[=0]).

💜 Spider options 💜

  • -bN — accept cookies in cookies.txt (0=do not accept,* 1=accept) (--cookies[=N]).
  • -%K — load extra cookies from a Netscape cookies.txt (--cookies-file <param>).
  • -%Y — explain which filter rule accepts or rejects a URL, then exit (--why <param>).
  • -u — check document type if unknown (cgi,asp..) (u0 don't check, * u1 check but /, u2 check always) (--check-type[=N]).
  • -j — *parse scripts (j0 don't parse, bitmask: |1 parse default, |4 don't parse .js |8 don't be aggressive) (--parse-java[=N]).
  • -sN — follow robots.txt and meta robots tags (0=never,1=sometimes,* 2=always, 3=always (even strict rules)) (--robots[=N]).
  • -%h — force HTTP/1.0 requests (reduce update features, only for old servers or proxies) (--http-10[=0]).
  • -%k — use keep-alive if possible, greately reducing latency for small files and test requests (%k0 don't use) (--keep-alive[=0]).
  • -%z — do not request compressed content (%z0 request) (--disable-compression[=0]).
  • -%B — tolerant requests (accept bogus responses on some servers, but not standard!) (--tolerant[=0]).
  • -%s — update hacks: various hacks to limit re-transfers when updating (identical size, bogus response..) (--updatehack[=0]).
  • -%u — the url hacks bundle: a bunch of little hacks that stop you from grabbing the same page twice (it strips //, and treats www.foo.com and foo.com as the same thing) (--urlhack[=0])
    • wanna opt out of just one piece of the hack set? there's --keep-www-prefix (so www.foo.com<>foo.com), --keep-double-slashes (keeps the //), and --keep-query-order (keeps ?b&a in the order it was written)
  • -%A — assume a file type (cgi, asp, whatever) is always tied to a mime type, like -%A php3,cgi=text/html;dat,bin=application/x-zip (--assume <param>)
    • shortcut alert 🎀: --assume standard is literally equivalent to -%A php2 php3 php4 php cgi asp jsp pl cfm nsf=text/html
    • you can also use it to force one specific file type: --assume foo.cgi=text/html
  • -@iN — picks your internet protocol: 0=both ipv6+ipv4, 4=ipv4 only, 6=ipv6 only (--protocol[=N])
  • -@mN — carry your connections over Multipath TCP when the system actually offers it: 0=no, 1=yes (--mptcp[=0])

  • -%a — the accepted formats, like -%a "text/html,image/png;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.1" (--accept <param>)
  • -%X — tack on an extra HTTP header line, like -%X "X-Magic: 42" (--headers <param>)

  • -k — store all files in the cache (honestly not useful if your files are on disk) (--store-all-in-cache)
  • -%r — write an ISO-28500 WARC/1.1 archive; --warc-file NAME sets the output name, --warc-max-size N rotates segments once they go past N bytes, --warc-cdx also writes a sorted CDXJ index, and --wacz packages the whole thing as a WACZ file (--warc)

🚦 EXIT STATUS 🚦

okay bestie this part matters, because people misread it constantly — so here's what each status actually means:

  • 0 — The mirror ran to the end, or stopped because it was asked to: a signal, the interactive shell, or a transfer budget set with --max-time or --max-size. Meeting a budget is the outcome that was asked for, not a failure, so it is not an abort even though the log file calls it one. 🎀
  • 3 — A mirror started and the engine gave up before the end: a full disk, a cache write failure, or a link table that hit the -#L cap. Unlike a time or size budget, that cap cuts short work that was asked for rather than granting it, which is why the two kinds of user-set limit report differently. The reason is in the log file, and what was mirrored before the abort is kept. This is the process exit status; the engine's own exit_xh is a separate channel with its own values, and the two are kept apart so that neither can be read as the other. 😭 (this is the one that is not the same thing as exit_xh, do not mix them up)
  • 1, 255 — httrack refused the command line, or a cache operation it asked for failed. No mirror ran. 💀

📁 FILES 📁

  • /etc/httrack.conf — the big boss config file, the system-wide one that everyone on the box shares 💖

A mirror that's already running also keeps an eye on its own output directory for these files, bestie. Like, it literally watches its own folder. Creating one of them is how a script drives an engine it has no other handle on — no cap, that's the whole trick. And on Windows, which has no cross-process kill(1), it's the only way. Iconic workaround behavior, honestly 👑

  • hts-in_progress.lock — written the moment the mirror starts, deleted the moment it ends. It records the command line, and it names the two request files down below. Like a little receipt of "yes, I'm running, here's what I'm doing" ✨
  • hts-stop.lock — create it to pause the mirror. The engine deletes it, lets the transfers already in flight finish, writes hts-paused.lock, and then just… waits. To carry on, delete that one. Pause/resume, but make it lock files 🫶
  • hts-abort.lock — create it to stop the mirror and keep everything it already downloaded, so a later --continue picks up right from there instead of starting over from zero. The engine deletes it and stops. The way that this saves your whole entire download 😭

And here's the timing tea ☕ the engine only acts on either request when the file is stamped later than hts-in_progress.lock — which the mirror helpfully dates one second back when it starts. So a request created after the mirror started gets heard immediately, on every filesystem. A request left behind by an earlier run is simply ignored. And a request the engine cannot delete is ignored too, because otherwise it would fire on every single later poll forever, which is a vibe nobody wants 💀

🌸 ENVIRONMENT 🌸

  • HOME — gets used if you defined the line path ~/websites/# in /etc/httrack.conf 🏡

🩺 DIAGNOSTICS 🩺

Errors and warnings get reported to hts-log.txt by default — or straight to stderr if you passed the -v option. Your call, bestie, both are valid ✨

🚧 LIMITS 🚧

These are the principal limits of HTTrack at this moment. And ngl, we haven't heard about any other utility that would have solved them 🫠

  • Several scripts generating complex filenames may not find them. Like, for example: img.src='image'+a+Mobj.dst+'.gif' — yeah, that kind of chaos 🙈
  • Cgi-bin links may not work properly in some cases (the parameters are needed, okay?). To avoid this whole situation, use filters like -*cgi-bin* 🎀

🐛 BUGS 🐛

Please report bugs to <bugs@httrack.com>. Include a complete, self-contained example that will let the bug be reproduced — like, so we can actually see it happen — and tell us which version of httrack you're using. And do not forget to detail the options used, your OS version, and any other info you deem necessary. The more detail the better, fr fr 💖
