[Tech] A broken server in the wild, tearing down connection when the resource does not exist?

I've noticed station.martinrue.com doesn't seem to implement the spec correctly (to my knowledge).I experimented with using a TLS client (gnutls-cli) to send messages over the protocol manually and Station replied weirdly to requests.It responds to 'gemini://gemini.circumlunar.space/' with '20 text/gemini' and then the home page. Shouldn't that be something like '53 We are not a proxy'?It responds to 'http://njw.name/' with '59 Client scheme is non-gemini'. Shouldn't that also be 53?

It seems there is a specific brand of server that immediately resets
the connection when you ask a non-existing file (such as robots.txt)
instead of replying with 51.
You can find it for instance at fulton.software, blog.snowfrost.garden
or cee64.us.
Any idea what it is?

You can identify gemini servers by their error messages (try getting
"59 BAD REQUEST" or "53 PROXY REQUEST REFUSED")

Hi all,
If anyone is interested, I can start putting together a proposal for a
Gemini Usenet newsgroup. comp.infosystems.gopher is still around and
active. A new comp.infosystems.gemini could be created in the classic
Usenet Big-8 hierarchies but we need people who are willing to say that
they would use it before it could be created.
Full disclosure: I am a member of the Usenet Big-8 Management Board
which creates and manages the Big-8 Usenet Hierarchies. see:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_8_(Usenet) and https://big-8.org and
we are looking to create groups for people who want to use Usenet. We're
not for profit and we don't make any money except enough to cover expenses.
Jason
