< Is gemini a read-only protocol?
I think these are just enough to do all that's needed. I think that I should be able to login and reply to midnight.pub within gemini, for instance. Even post whole new articles, why not?
Ohh in response to CRLF, that's a concern of implementation but it looks like percent encoding?
"The requested resource accepts a line of textual user input. The <META> line is a prompt which should be displayed to the user. The same resource should then be requested again with the user's input included as a query component. Queries are included in requests as per the usual generic URL definition in RFC3986, i.e. separated from the path by a ?. Reserved characters used in the user's input must be "percent-encoded" as per RFC3986, and space characters should also be percent-encoded."

Sensitive input is nice considering the risks of DNS, maybe you don't want every admin on your network to know your specific search queries.
Ideally, fancy viewer implementations could even allow for showing input boxes inline if they fit some standard like last item on page is input button, etc, etc, with a toggle setting in a view menu. Put a 🔒 next to it if it's sensitive, else 🔓
