Greetings All!

My www site has for sometime been displaying a homespun gopher proxy

(IE: my website displays my gopherhole). Since I recently installed a

gemini server on my home network, I wanted to expand my proxy to gemini

too. This is complete: https://leveck.us/gemini/1436.ninja/

I am having issues, however. With the gopher proxy, I hand binary files

over to curl via php after sending the appropriate header. Curl doesn't

currently support gemini, and I have been chasing my tail on getting

images (and binary files such as my RPoD Palm OS Software Horde) to work

with my proxy.

Anyone got ideas?

Here is the networky portion of the proxy source:

28 //Gemini Protocol Code

29 //Nathaniel Leveck September 2020

30 $host = $host;

31 $port = 1965;

32 $cert = '/var/www/cert/cert.pem';

33 $context = stream_context_create();

34 stream_context_set_option($context, 'ssl', 'local_cert', $cert);

35 stream_context_set_option($context, 'ssl', 'verify_peer', false);

36 stream_context_set_option($context, 'ssl', 'verify_peer_name', false);

37 stream_context_set_option($context, 'ssl', 'allow_self_signed', true);

38 $socket = stream_socket_client('ssl://'.$host.':'.$port, $error, $errorString, 2,

39 STREAM_CLIENT_CONNECT, $context);

40 fwrite($socket, "gemini://" . $url . "\r\n");

41 fread($socket,8192); //disregard the status + meta

42 $content = fread($socket,8192000); //read a suitably large number of bytes

fread, I assume, is my issue. socketread showed me no love...

The code was ill formatted. How about a retry?
