There is a difference between a having a link to "/page" and a having relative link to "page".
The first is fine, the second needs special logic to tell that when we reach "/page/page/[...]/page" we should probably stop. I bet $5 that their web server log shows plenty of naive bots like mine getting lost in that recursion, burning unnecessary CPU time.
Thankfully, the solution is not that hard to implement.
- codingdave 3y agoI'm glad the fix is easy, but the web has always been notorious for garbage HTML. You'll go farther with this if you adopt an attitude that you can handle low-quality content vs. getting defensive about someone finding a new edge case that needs to be handled.
- sph 3y agoNot sure why you think I was being defensive, nor annoyed at the problem. I just wanted to clarify for sake of argument. It is on my todo list to fix. Thanks.
