A properly formed gemini request is a fully qualified URL with a scheme

Not in this case. In a request, it is only necessary to specify the
authority and optionally a path. From the spec (0.14.2):
If the scheme of the URL is not specified, a scheme of gemini:// is
implied.
So the server really should treat both requests as equivalent.
I believe that the reason this doesn't work is because"gemini.circumlunar.space" is treated as a relative path with noauthority. Making a request for "//gemini.circumlunar.space" works.Perhaps this should be clarified in the specification.Or perhaps schemes should always be required to avoid confusion.
