To escape the 1k limits of the URL in responses to 10 and 11, my exploration of status code 12 places the user input in the body. This meant I had to change my server from only understanding how to process the single request line of standard requests to processing the request line *and* the body when it sees a response to a 12. So I needed to tell the difference between requests with a body and ones without.

The client should not be sending a body to the server, requests areonly one <URL><CR><LF> line.Having bodies allows for the expansion of the Gemini protocol, andwould make it much like HTTP.
