Updates to my HTTP-Gemini proxy

Published 2019-12-27

I've made a bunch of fixes and updates to my gemini proxy server over at:

http://portal.mozz.us

I wasn't happy with the overall quality of the codebase (it's a single page flask app), and I ended up re-writing large parts of it. I feel a lot better now. Here's the changelog in no particular order.

Improved layout for mobile devices.
Added a favicon.
Added a shortcut link to jump to the parent directory.
Re-organized the placement of navigation links.
Added a new link to view the server's public certificate as plain text (thanks openssl!).
Better error handling for invalid domains and other network errors.
Better error handling for invalid gemini URLs.
Status codes now include their short description.
Gemini URLs are now embedded in the path instead of a query parameter, which results in shorter and more readable URLs.
Added support for viewing images and mp3 files directly in the page.
Added native support for text/plain documents.
Downloaded files are now given better default names.
Locked down gemini requests to port 1965 for security reasons.
ANSI escape codes are now removed from inline text documents.
