Census Index link sometimes ".html"

[cablespaghetti]

I've noticed that the Census Index link sometimes point to ".html".

For example on https://genealogy.nigelhorne.com/cgi-bin/page.fcgi?page=people&home=1 currently points to https://genealogy.nigelhorne.com/save_to/web/English/page.fcgi/.html

This seems to be for cached pages in the save_to folder. If I do a Ctrl-Shift-R to invalidate the page cache, that seems to temporarily resolve the problem.

As a slight tangent, I've tried messing around with all kinds of different caching settings, as I basically want to disable the "save_to" folder and use a reverse proxy cache instead but haven't had much luck. Could you explain the cache, disc_cache and memory cache options?

Thanks again!

Commenting out this seems to disable the save_to folder and so far looks to have solved/bodged around my issue.

        if(!$info->is_search_engine()) {
                $fb->init(save_to => {
                        directory => File::Spec->catfile($config->rootdir(), 'save_to'),
                        ttl => 3600 * 24,
                        create_table => 1
                });
        }

Sam: Thanks for your e-mail. I suspect a cache is confused. When you upload a new copy of your site please remove all of the 'save_to' directory and also the cache that disc_cache points to. I need to make that clear in the documentation. I'm hoping that will fix it. I'll document disc_cache and memory_cache and pass it on to you - it's a good point that it's not clearly documented.

Sam: You need to do more than that - you also need to clear out whatever "disc_cache" points to - I'll put that in the documentation - which is rather sparse on that issue.

Thanks again Nigel!

Documentation added.

Does removing the save_to directory on uploading a new website help? Thinking about it, I used to have the same problem and realised that my cache was out of sync with the site - I'm hoping this will fix this problem as well.

I believe that the latest 2 commits should fix this problem.
