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.
