Hello. I started discussion about adding support for gemini into curl. In addition technical issues with my patch, curl maintainer was concerned that gemini scheme is not registered by IANA, and sceptical of gemini in general. Given how widely curl library is used, mainlining gemini support into it would give us wide range of applications working transparently with gemini: git, RSS readers, mirroring tools, source location for package managers and so on. For that reason I think we should take the trouble of registering gemini scheme with IANA. I can probably draft review request, but we will likely need to adjust specification (e.g s/URL/URI/ and other boring stuff). According to registration process documentation, it will take around four weeks of discussion. Thoughts? https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7595 https://curl.se/mail/lib-2020-11/0083.html
