At Purdue University, we are going to replace our inactive Drupal sites with static HTML mirrors of all public content (to avoid administrating/upgrading them in the future). I've successfully done this with Httrack, but I'm planning on writing up a tutorial for doing this and would like to provide instructions for wget (I'll submit some instructions as a handbook page on drupal.org)
The problem I've encountered with wget is that it is not converting the relative style sheet urls' properly. So with Drupal pages such as http://example.com/node/1, wget creates a subfolder node/, but the style sheet remains relative to the base url (note that Htrack does modify the relative url correctly).
To get the style sheets to work properly on all new pages with wget, I have succeeded in modifying the theme template to hardcode in the absolute URL for the style sheets (both misc/drupal.css and the theme css). However, I'm wondering whether or not wget can do this correctly with the right config settings from the original theme template with the relative URL's?
Any suggestions? As I mentioned, using the Htrack windows client works well enough for me, but I wouldn't mind writing up about wget in the tutorial since it's generally a 'nix server default. Anyone successfully done this already?
