Require either filename "tw.txt" or file extension ".tw.txt" (e.g. filename.tw.txt)

[sjehuda]

I realize that it would require changes from software such as timeline and Yarn.

I am working on a syndicated content reader which handles multiple protocols and formats, and I have then realized rgat instruction '/twtxt' in uri would be bad, because URI could also be '/twtxt-a-new-syndication-format.gmi'.

            if (uri.endswith('.tw.txt') or
                uri.endswith('.twtxt.txt') or
                uri.endswith('/tw.txt') or
                uri.endswith('/twtxt.txt')):

@sjehuda what problem are you trying to solve by explicitly requiring that hosts of feeds choose a particular file no more resource path?

This is a loss of a concern of the specification itself and more of a recommendation for hosting.

I'm not in favor of this, unless you can provide a strong argument for having a consistent resource part the file name.

I want to skip checks whether a document is Twtxt or otherwise.

I did not think of it. A recommendation would be fine too.

I think that mu argument is indeed not strong. I have added initial support to my XMPP news bot for Twxt, and I do not know how to validate a Twxtx file. http://portal.mozz.us/gemini/woodpeckersnest.space/~schapps/journal/2025-04-20-slixfeed-gemini-and-twtxt.gmi https://git.xmpp-it.net/sch/Slixfeed/src/branch/master/slixfeed/xmpp/commands.py#L570 https://git.xmpp-it.net/sch/Slixfeed/src/branch/master/slixfeed/xmpp/commands.py#L605 Perhaps, my issue is with validating a Twtxt file.
