It was thus said that the Great Petite Abeille once stated:
Presently, a successful status code may look like:
20 text/gemini; charset=utf-8
Would it be reasonable to consider the structure of <META> as equivalent to a modernized MIME header?
We already have the charset, so... as we have 1024 bytes to play with...
... we could add a couple of further information such as Content-Length [1], Content-Disposition [2], Content-Language [3], and Date[4]..
Perhaps something like this:
20 text/gemini; charset=utf-8; length=28102; name="Speculative specification"; date=2020-05-26; language=en-US
A slim 107 bytes altogether. All optional.
Heresy?
I previously proposed the filesize for this, and solderpunk rejected that(reasoning here: https://lists.orbitalfox.eu/archives/gemini/2020/000808.html).And I'm not a fan at all of Content-Disposition because of the way webbrowsers implement it (no! I don't want to save that! I want to *see* it! Let me see it in the browser!). I think language will pass, but that'sabout it ...
