Original bug finder here. I'm going to try to fix this. I don't know go: wish me luck... 😃

[bep]

Good luck!

The URL handling in Hugo is a little bit too fragmented, but there should be test cases (see site_test.go and page_test.go - esp. the first) that will break when you add some periods.

[ryanclarke]

Yes, I've discovered that the URL handling is rather complex and probably in need of streamlining.

I'm thinking the most straightforward way to do this is having a new simpler method on https://github.com/spf13/hugo/blob/master/hugolib/site.go#L1384. This new method would only know how to turn the "/{taxonomy}/{key}" and "/{section}/{key}" formats into pretty and ugly urls.

[bep]

Yes, that sounds reasonable.

It appears that the rss feeds don't respect the ulgyURLs flag. Is this a bug?

[bep]

No, that is by design. They even have the rssURI to make them as ugly as it gets.

[ryanclarke]

I'm still working on this, as I have time. It's a rather tricky issue. I'm having trouble finding a non-invasive fix that doesn't cause side effects. And now I'm a couple months behind HEAD.

Anyway, just to let you know I'm not dead and that I'm still trying to fix this. I'd really like to upgrade from v0.12.
