Timeout

What happens when you have a client that connects to a server but doesn't send

the requested url? It's easy to find out, just run:

"openssl s_client 80h.dev:1965"

It only gives 5 seconds to send "gemini://80h.dev/" or it'll timeout. For a

while now I've been worried about a rogue client coming along and opening a

bunch of connections without closing them. I haven't checked other servers but I

wonder if they already did that from the beginning.

Maybe I should whip up a script to benchmark servers to see how many

connections they can take.

p.s. this server runs the dev branch.
