For URLs that point to directories, you must have the trailing "/" for
local indexing to work. When indexing through HTTP, a directory URL that
lacks the trailing slash causes a redirect, to the same URL with the slash
appended, so that the directory index can be fetched normally. When you
index files locally, this redirect does not occur, leaving htdig with no
fallback position when local_urls_only is true.
It would probably be a simple matter to change Document::RetrieveLocal()
to issue the redirect when the local file turns out to be a directory,
but so far no one has implemented this.
I use local_urls indexing almost exclusively myself, but this has never
been a problem for me because I never use incomplete URLs for directories,
to avoid forcing an unnecessary redirect.
