Hi, where might i find help/docs/faq on gemini cgi? For html i am using:
#!/bin/bash
echo "Content-type: text/html"
echo ""
[rest of script]
I have not found information for starting a cgi script output for gemini.
Thank you for any assistance.
Cheers
Neil
There are some difference on how Gemini servers implements CGI.
Usually[0] they just execute your script with a bunch of environment
variable set, and expect you to handle the transaction. For instance, a
simple "hello world"-tier script could be:
#!/bin/sh
printf "20 text/gemini\r\n"
echo "# Hello Gemini"
but check the documentation of your server of choice (and also the
protocol specification.)
Cheers,

[0]: At least with gmid, GLV-1.12556 and (to some extent) vger; don't
know what other servers do.
