Sure.  spider.pl just writes to stdout, so you can run it on a few
test docs and see what it outputs.  Do it on a file that generates
a description and then another that doesn't and compare.

Make sure in the spider.pl output that the document's header is indeed
HTML*

$ SPIDER_QUIET=1 /usr/local/lib/swish-e/spider.pl default http://localhost/apache/test.doc  | head
Path-Name: http://localhost/apache/test.doc
Content-Length: 1713
Last-Mtime: 1108148269
Document-Type: TXT*

That's saying the document is TXT*, so you would need to add another
StoreDescription line for TXT*
