The way your examples resolved the first segment that starts with a tilde confused me.

AFAIR tilde is not any different than other alphabetic characters. I would expect ~foo to resolve like ./~foo, not like /~foo.

Shells or servers may interpret them specially, but for path resolution it shouldn't matter.

@skyjake: I think Lagrange should not be platform dependent when parsing gemtext. Is this a bug?

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/...
