That's just an artefact of the way I ran my tests. What actually happens is that
bozohttpd generates an index.html with only relative links:
<a href="xxxx">xxxx</a>
every time; while simple-http-server always generates absolute paths (from
server root) like this:
<a href="/foo/bar/xxxx">xxxx</a>
In other words, this does not seem like a pkg_add bug at all.
Looks like pkg_add relies on a bozohttpd-like dir. listing. It should do
something
like a basename(3) on the `href' links. Both lynx(1) and firefox treat both
link types the same.
