  Ah.  To see those, use a client certificate and go here:

	gemini://gemini.conman.org/private/cgi-sample

  Cool.  But you only set AUTH_TYPE and REMOTE_USER if a client certificate
is present, otherwise, they're not set.  Same for the TLS_* variables. 

  Also, PWD, LANG and LC_COLLATE aren't required (they're not part of the
CGI spec).  I included LANG to ensure proper charset usage of any program
executed, LC_COLLATE just because and PATH (not PWD) in case I need to
execute a Unix command from a CGI script.

  You're welcome.
