I would like to create a static html archive of my drupal site (on a regular basis, for corporate compliance reasons related to documenting previous states of the publicly published information).
I have referred to the drupal manual page at http://drupal.org/node/ 27882. But I have two problems (because I am simply archiving a snapshot of the site, not retiring it, so I don't want to interfere with the normal, drupal-based, dynamic operation).
1. When I use any of the download tools (wget, sitesucker, I've not yet tried httrack) to download the site, the function drupal_get_html_head in file includes/common.inc outputs a directive ". This causes the downloaded pages to contain links which try to open the original site on the Internet, rather than the local file copy.
2. I would like to be logged in as a special user, named "archive", which is configured specially for archive purposes. For instance, it has no permission to search; it displays a custom block that tells that this is an archived version of the website, and states the date on which it was archived, etc. This works for me when I manually login as user "archive". How to get a downloading tool to login as a drupal user (they are good at http authentication, but have no understanding of drupal authentication).
Thanks,
Cheryl

I'm afraid the directive didn't come through. Which one do you mean? :-)

If you log in as that user, you can check in the database and see what the session variable is for that user. wget (and probably the others) can be set to send a specific cookie with each request, and you can just give it that value. See the man page for the exact syntax, as I don't recall it at the moment.

Would node revisions be sufficient for that? See http://groups.drupal.org/taxonomy/term/1032/ for reference.
