This adds the ability to specify a comic as a link only with a default splash image.

Added --no-check-certificate for wget calls as arcamax was failing its cert check.  Meh, whatever.  It's just comics.

Centered page

Updated for w3 validation.

The script was unable to handle html '&' and convert it, so I added that.  I probably should see if there's a library or something that handles all those automagically but I just tossed a regex in there for now that does the trick.

Changed the default for Sunday comics that was causing issues with some comics.

Added an easier to compare date string to determine if the status json file was updated today and report if it wasn't.

A status report is now generated in JSON that can easily be scanned so that
I can be alerted when there are failures that I miss if I don't read the
comics that day.

Added a new config option to remove all newline from the resulting index.html
file.  This allows for easier parsing for certain comics.  I then updated
the URLs to search for and enabled the newline removal for a handful
of uComics.

I believe I've also properly fixed the Comic Config version displayed on
the webpage itself.

Added the CVS config version to the outpuit.

Fixed a bug that was improperly including the day of week string preventing the weekend comics from fetching proproperly.

Added the ability for Sunday only comics.  Stonesoup is no longer weekdays, this has been added to Sunday only.  I also added Foxtrot Classics for weekdays and Foxtrot for Sundays.

Added Sally Forth and Pearls Before Swine.  Adding Sally Forth required a change in the 'wget' command for fetching the index file to include 'user-agent' and 'referer'.

Added favicon

Fixed a problem that forced everything to JPG.  This would kill GIF animations, but would not display the gifs either because 'convert' appends an index number to the end of the file name for each from of the GIF animation.  I fixed this to maintain GIF compatibilty as well as rewritting how the script fetches the size of the file.  Additionally, I updated the configuration for Questionable Content to search for GIF or JPG, which is what triggered this entire update.

Changed the background and added a fancy title.

*** empty log message ***

Dilbert changed, it required todays date to run as well.  I just tossed the date in there to grab.

Added some CSS to it for a gradient background and fiddled with fonts and colors.

Moved the day of the week towards the end of the filename so it auto sorts by the date still.

Changed the weekday string in the filename to only the first 3 characters.

I wrote this so long ago, it's so poorly done...  I write out to the resulting index file with 3 different opens and re-generate the filename for each one.  For the change to the name I made last update I only changed it in the main content write and missed the header and footer file resulting in a file with all the comics and one with just the header and footer...  If I cared enough, I'd rewrite this.

Added the day of the week to the HTML index filename for easier reading.

Added the string day to the header.  Attempted to add an option '--day X' to download the comics from X days ago.  However, this only works for certain comics, otherwise it just downloads the current day's comic and stores it with the date for the day you want.  Also, this code is still a mess.  I wrote it 10 years ago...  Might be time for an overhaul.

Added a link to the CVS repository beneath the version.

Grumble grumble...  Fixed a newly introduced date bug that was stupid on my part.

Fixed date bug

Added poorly but quickly written code to find images > 640 width and resize them to 640 width.

Removed scaling of images to 640 width and cleaned up footer.

Fixed a typo in the user agent, added the script version to the bottom of the page.

Initial import.  THough I've been maintaining this script since late 2004 and it's undergone MANY revisions I never added it to CVS.  Most recently I updated this script to work with the updated changes to gocomics website, I added USER_AGENT strings and only one of the two download functions had the 'referer' being passed, I added it to the second one as well.
