Point the client to any of the following: gemini://gemini.conman.org/test/redirhell/ gemini://gemini.conman.org/test/redirhell2/ gemini://gemini.conman.org/test/redirhell3/ gemini://gemini.conman.org/test/redirhell4 gemini://gemini.conman.org/test/redirhell5 (NOTE: the links will continuously redirect) I suspect that most would expect the client to stop making requests after N redirects. What's N? That hasn't been decided yet. -spc
