[2021-03-15]..Vger.unexpected....gmi
When you see something weird with Vger[1] you have a few options:
I feel guilty I've choosen the first options too often so I am taking
the third one this time.
So a few "unexpected behaviors".
1/ Virtual Host support (-v):
this requires to also set the path manually with -d. Even though it's
the default /var/gemini one, without the -d it miss the last trailing
slash (/var/gemini/) and make the path invalid.
2/ Auto index (-i):
the index as such works. But it adds a "../" entry at the top which is
nice but don't handle the path properly :
Like if you are on gemini://clemat.is/gemlog/
the ../ gives me:
gemini://clemat.is/gemlog/clemat.is/
3/ cgi-bin (-c):
manpage says that with virtual host you must insert the directory in the
path. which is fair enough. this path means the chroot one without the
first / .
-c /var/gemini/clemat.is/cgi-bin/ DOES *NOT* WORK
-c /clemat.is/cgi-bin/ DOES *NOT* WORK
those two previous options prevent everything to work can't access even
clemat.is
This third option below, gives me another error of path
-c clemat.is/cgi-bin/ DOES *NOT* WORK
vger: request gemini://clemat.is/
vger: path invalid /var/gemini/clemat.is/
which is a valid path actually so there's something with the chroot or
the virtual host it doesn't like.
@solene, so either I am a fool and need to read again the man page or
you are allow to change my wording ... s/unexpected\ behaviors/BUGS/
