Description

I use Nutch to find the location of executables on the web, but we do not download the executables with Nutch. In order to get nutch to give the location of files without downloading the files, I had to make a very small patch to the code, but I think this change might be useful to others also. The patch just logs files that are being filtered at the info level, although perhaps it should be at the debug level.

I have included a svn diff with this change. Use cases would be to both use as a diagnostic tool (let's see what we are skipping) as well as a way to find content and links pointed to by a page or site without having to actually download that content.
