Re: "Server best practices for routing and relative links"
@alice-sur-le-nuage, agreed, but every gemini server I've used (on tildes) dumps directories as links. It makes it very simple to get started, and a simple 'touch index.gmi' disables this behavior when required... I believe this is a defacto expected behavior.
I don't think it's a security threat by itself unless you actively insert the links or files you don't want to see into the directory

Server best practices for routing and relative links — I'm writing a gemini server and ran into some gotchas when it comes to relative linking from within gemtext. The server will route gemini requests to paths on the filesystem. i.e. a url "index.gmi" would route to a file named "index.gmi" As a convenience, the server will also resolve requests that correspond to a directory on the filesystem iff the directory contains a file named "index.gmi" Let's say there's a file at the subpath ~subspace/...
