Description: |
|
|
|
I added a new feature to Vger gemini server. |
 |
Vger git repository |
|
|
|
The protocol supports status code including redirections, Vger had no |
|
way to know if a user wanted to redirect a page to another. The |
|
redirection litteraly means "You asked for this content but it is now |
|
at that place, load it from there". |
|
|
|
To keep it with vger Unix way, a redirection is done using a symbolic |
|
link: |
|
|
|
The following command would redirect requests from |
|
gemini://perso.pw/blog/index.gmi to |
|
gemini://perso.pw/capsule/index.gmi: |
|
|
|
```shell command |
|
ln -s "gemini://perso.pw/capsule/index.gmi" blog/index.gmi |
|
``` |
|
|
|
Unfortunately, this doesn't support globbing, in other words it is not |
|
possible to redirect everything from `/blog/` to `/capsule/` without |
|
creating a symlink for all previous resources to their new locations. |
