I think this is related to the non-standard port of the server in
question here (8080). AFAIK, Ht://Dig does not honour non-standard
ports but instead will fall back to the standard HTTP port 80.
In this case, "the name of the server" includes a non-standard port
(8080) which is stripped off by the indexer resulting in the attempt
to query the same host at the standard port (80). However, it is
(correctly) detected that "http://agheli:8080/"; /= "http://agheli/";,
so that any other (probably relative) URLs which the index page refers
to are skipped.
It is a bug, yes - and AFAIK it had been discussed in the list before.
I'm not sure, however, if the bug was entered in the buglist or how
it was handled then.
cheers,
Torsten
