pygopherd: can't process html links in subdirectories
After fiddling with gophernicus, then pygopherd, I noticed that pygopherd
has trouble processing html links depending on which gophermap file
they're found in. If an html link or html file appears in
/var/gopher/gophermap, it's processed fine. However, if the gophermap
file is somewhere deeper, say, /var/gopher/if-archive/gophermap, it fails
like this:
3'/if-archive/URL:http://www.ifarchive.org' does not exist (no handler
found) error.host 1
Why is this happening?
I'm split between using pygopherd or gophernicus. Pygopherd works well
with systems. I like gophernicus a bit better, but the author is still
having trouble getting it to work with systemd.
This is /var/gopher/gophermap:
