Yes. This is a complex problem.
Apache (the web server), generates bad HTML for directory listings (at least 1.3.x series):
I may be missing something with this. What I think I am reading is that this is an Apache issue as far as why the page isnt rendering well. I am running Thttp for a server. I copied the source and stuck it on my server. It then will not render well with Dillo either.
The fact is that the html is invalid, and therefore renders funny. Saving the html and serving it from another web server, or fetching it from a file, won't change that it is invalid. The reason it is an apache problem is that the html is generated by apache, not that it is served by apache.
I sense I am still missing part of this discussion but thought I would add my 2 cents anyways. *;o)
Does that fill in the missing bit? As it happens, thttpd (2.25b) has a very similar problem, in that its default directory listing, if enabled, looks like === <H2>Index of /</H2> <PRE> mode links bytes last-changed name <HR>dr-x 2 4096 Mar 23 12:23 <A HREF="/./">.</A>/ === which current dillo will also recognise as invalid, and render not as the server author presumably hoped.
