It was thus said that the Great Charles Iliya Krempeaux once stated:
Regarding:
gopher://zaibatsu.circumlunar.space/0/~solderpunk/gemini/status-codes.txt
A good example of this latter problem, IMHO, is "410 Gone" (which is
actually in the Conman Gemini server!). If this is made official in the
Gemini spec, it sends the message that Real Servers which have a Proper
Full Implementation should remember every one of their URLs which *has*
been valid in the past so it can respond to requests for them with 410
instead of 404. Similarly a Real Client should remember every 410 it gets
so that it doesn't request them again. In the real world, almost nobody
does this with HTTP, so it's basically dead weight in the spec.
And yet:
https://gemini.circumlunar.space/docs/specification.html
52 GONE
I'm assuming there is some story about how this got in there.
Yes. I convinced solderpunk to add it. Along with both temporary andpermanent redirections.
