It seems there is a specific brand of server that immediately resets
the connection when you ask a non-existing file (such as robots.txt)
instead of replying with 51.
You can find it for instance at fulton.software, blog.snowfrost.garden
or cee64.us.
Any idea what it is?
Eleven capsules has apparently this issue (they probably all run thesame software):
gemini.real-ity.com gmni.kizaing.ca stillspinning.cc lertsenem.com iich.space capsule.adrianhesketh.com gemini.barca.mi.it tryops.net fulton.software lord.re cee64.us
Robert khuxkm Miles suggests:
The culprit seems to be the blog software written by Fulton(presumably of fulton.software)[1]. While Fulton's `rfs` servercorrectly handles non-existant files[2], `blog` lacks the final`header 51 'File not found'` of `rfs`. Thus, when `blog` terminateswith no input, the connection is reset with no output. I would presumethat this is the same issue plaguing cee64.us, given the similarity oftheir main page to Fulton's own fulton.software, and the same issueplaguing blog.snowfrost.garden, which seems to be running a modifiedversion of `blog`, if it is running one at all. Ifblog.snowfrost.garden isn't in fact running `blog`, I would presumethe issue to be a similar omission of the final `header 51 'File notfound'` in whatever their software is written in.
