Are there any other

I don't think there are yet. But lately I've been working to add good

Yes, blizanci supports enforcement of client certificates. You can tryto get the URL:

gemini://gemini.ucant.org/restricted/example.gemini

and it'll give you a status 20 or status 60 as the case may be.

CGI and SCGI support to Molly Brown, including passing information about

client certs on to aps through the variables (following Sean's lead for

now, although I need to bring up some points for discussion about this

in the near future). Very soon I will take advantage of this to start

My implementation is that $REMOTE_USER is set to the common name in the cert subject. I think this is a good idea, but I don't think it's common practice in the Gemini universe.

(I remain skeptical about whether SSL is the right choice - I reckonGemini's simplicity goal is going to run up against the practice oftrying to reuse as much existing infrastructure as possible.)
