[tech] Any way to retrieve an entire capsule?

I do not find a program that, given, a capsule name, would retrieve

recursively all the contents of the capsule (assuming there is at

least one path from the "home page" to it). Something like httrack for

the Web. This would be useful for backups, for instance.

I am planning to write one

<https://framagit.org/bortzmeyer/agunua/-/issues/20> but I wonder if

there is something already existing, among the command-line clients,

something I missed.

It should be built-in the protocol, something along the lines of "lftp mirror":

"In July 2005, after several failed attempts to legalise software

patents in Europe, the patent establishment changed its strategy.

Instead of explicitly seeking to sanction the patentability of

software, they are now seeking to create a central European patent

court, which would establish and enforce patentability rules in their

favor, without any possibility of correction by competing courts or

democratically elected legislators."

I don't think so. Gemini protocol tries to be simple and minimum. And

the protocol already offers all the necessary features, the biggest

problem is local (saving in local files, while guarding against

servers using funny names for resources).

May be the only missing thing is a way to inform the client of the

allowable behaviour. (There is no standard robots.txt, even for the

Web.)
