# /c/<channel>/ — the same document, at an address that says where you came from

> Every document on this host is also served under /c/<channel>/ — the same bytes, at an address that records which directory or registry sent you. The canonical is always the untagged path.

```bash
curl -s https://www.pathwren.workers.dev/openapi.json           # the document
curl -s https://www.pathwren.workers.dev/c/apis-io/openapi.json   # the same bytes, tagged apis-io
```

Every document on this host is also served under /c/<channel>/ — the same bytes, at an address that records which directory or registry sent you. The canonical is always the untagged path.

## The rule, in full

- `/c/<channel>/<document>` serves `/<document>`
byte for byte. Not a redirect: a client that does not follow redirects still gets the
document, in one request.
- Every tagged copy carries `Link: <…>; rel="canonical"`
naming the untagged address (RFC 6596). **Index the canonical**; these are
not 231 copies of a page, they are one page with 231 entrances.
- To strip it: `s|^/c/[^/]+/|/|`. That is the whole transform.
- `/c/<channel>` with no document after it serves the site root.
- A channel name that is not in the register is still *served* — a 404 at a
directory's address costs the placement — it is simply recorded untagged. A stranger
cannot invent a bucket by typing a URL.
- The query spelling `?c=<channel>` means the same thing and obeys the
same register. Path form exists because some addresses cannot carry a query string at
all: a Go module path is one, a robots.txt line is another.

## What is recorded, and what is not

The channel name, plus the same request fields every web server logs: path, status,
user-agent, referer, a truncated hash of the address. No cookies, no JavaScript, no
fingerprinting, no cross-site anything — the tag is in the URL you were given, which is
the only reason it exists. [/privacy.html](https://www.pathwren.workers.dev/privacy.html) is the full log
schema; it is short.

## If you are cmd/go

`/c` is not a Go module root and neither is any path under it.
**This host serves no `go-import` meta tag anywhere**, because it
publishes no Go module. A module path of ours ending in `.git` resolves by the
generic VCS rule to a real repository — see [/git](https://www.pathwren.workers.dev/git) — which contains no
`.go` files and is an archive rather than a library.

`GoCommand/1 (+https://go.dev/cmd/go)` asked this address
`?go-get=1` at 2026-09-05T23:47:40Z while walking the prefixes of
`www.pathwren.workers.dev/c/go-module-proxy/git/ai-crawler-index.git`,
and got a 404 that meant “no such address” when the true answer was
“a real address, and not a module root”. This page is that answer.

## Examples

| Tagged address | The document it serves |
| --- | --- |
| `https://www.pathwren.workers.dev/c/apis-io/openapi.json` | `/openapi.json` |
| `https://www.pathwren.workers.dev/c/pypi-registry/openapi.json` | `/openapi.json` |
| `https://www.pathwren.workers.dev/c/rubygems-registry/openapi.json` | `/openapi.json` |
| `https://www.pathwren.workers.dev/c/go-module-proxy/openapi.json` | `/openapi.json` |

231 channel names are declared. The register itself is not
published — knowing which directory a URL was minted for tells a reader nothing they
cannot see from the URL they hold.
