I'm currently in the midst of writing a gemini server, and stumbled

should be served when requesting "/", or any directory?

Hi Garrit,

This is an implementation detail that the protocol specification shouldnot be concerned with; which file exactly you choose to serve for anygiven path (if a file at all) has no bearing on the implementation ofthe protocol.

It is however somewhat touched on in the best practices document, atleast if you consider "/" a directory:gemini://gemini.circumlunar.space/docs/best-practices.gmi
