Hi. I have a question regarding the gemini browsers. I came across gemini

recently and I was wondering about the browsers.

Please correct me if I am wrong in any of my understandings.

It seems one of the key components of the gemini project is that once the

client makes a request to the server, the server fills the request and

then

the connection closes.

Also - gemini does not have inline image displays.

My question is - would it be against gemini protocol to build a browser

that would be able to open audio files or http audio streams as well as

image files in the same window? Or - has this already been done?

Thank you!

In theory, a client can do whatever it wants. There are some guidelines

that defines "best practices" that client authors should follow (like

don't make requests behind the user back etc).

There is at least one browser that I know, Lagrange[0], that is able to

display images inline (upon user request), but there can be others too.

Cheers,
