Hi,
I am in the process of writing server framework for Gemini (you can expect announcement soon) and I am looking for more ways how to test it.
I did use https://github.com/michael-lazar/gemini-diagnostics and right now I am looking for ways how to test behavior on slow or weird connections. I am not too familiar with low level networking so I am looking for more information here. Specifically I would like to test scenario where client request comes in multiple packets over very slow connection. Is there some automated test which can do that for me? Or how could I test it manually (on Linux)?
Thank you everyone for your work on Gemini!

On Linux, you can use the "tc" program to tell the kernel to drop
and/or delay packets. For instance (DON'T TYPE IT BEFORE READING IT!)
tc qdisc add dev tap0 root netem delay 150ms loss 50%
Will add 150 ms of delay to all packets going through the network
interface tap0 and in addition will drop (more or less) half of them.

Thanks, that definitely helped!
I also figured out that I could edit the `gemini-diagnostics` to send really large request to force it to be split into multiple packets to test this kind behavior.
Have a nice day
