Ken,

I actually have my settings set to exactly what you are suggesting 
(which is the default).


EBay URLs are typically in the form of:

http://my.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?token1=value1&token2=value2...


The issue is that what you are suggesting results in pages being slogged 
as .dll files rather than something readable on the client-side (such as 
.html, .aspx, etc.) 

Would it be possible to configure Slogger to save pages from a 
particular domain (such as EBay)?  While I can appreciate your previous 
suggestion about avoiding sites which are not Slogger-compatible I would 
hate to think that my Slogger-based browsing should be limited to a 
subset of the Internet.
