Re: convert secure website to PDF ?

    But... I'm having a similar difficulty as when I tried Prince, and so now
    I'm wondering if the problem is that my username for the site is my email
    address, and so contains the "@" symbol. And for HTTrack, the "@" is a
    delimiter: "username:password -at- the-website-url". So no magic solution, but
    this seems a really good approach.

If you didnât sort this out already, I run into the âemail address as UIDâ issue all time with tools attempting to travers proxy servers and firewalls. Iâve found the easiest solution is to simply URL encode the @ in my command/var/config.

URL encoded, an @ is %40, so instead of:

https://user -at- name -dot- com:mypassword -at- theeverlovinproxyserver -dot- com:80

you give it:

https://user%40name.com:mypassword -at- theeverlovinproxyserver -dot- com:80

That little hack has gotten me around a number of sticky little situations with tools like Jekyll, Ruby, Node, etc..

Cheers!

Greg
