Description

WOW guy you are really cool!

I don't think client repo is good place for this issue but I could not find better. The problem is keybase.pub server do not follow symlinks.

For example I have file at https://farwayer.keybase.pub/arch/mobile/mobile.db.tar.xz and symlink to this file at https://farwayer.keybase.pub/arch/mobile/mobile.db. Server returns 404 for symlink. Correct behavior is return the file or redirect to file location.

My use case: I want to share my ArchLinux repo for React Native and Android developers. And preferred way to provide repo info is with symlinks.

P.S. For now I copied files as workaround.

Research direction

The issue names no client file, test, or entry point; start by locating the keybase.pub server responsible for serving symlinked paths and reproduce the two linked URLs. Done means a symlink serves the target file or redirects to its location, with coverage for the reported path behavior.
