Announcing `gurl`: like `curl` but for gemini

Aaron Janse <aaron (a) ajanse.me>

I just thought it would be helpful to have a tool that interfaces with 
gemini on the rawest level. I forked this from solderpunk's demo python client. Cheers!

P.S. I'm working on writing actual, gemini-exclusive content that's not 
about gemini itself. Wish me luck!

Congratulations on your release!

I'm laughing so hard right now. I *just* wanted to write an email ...
with the exact same topic!

So i feel free and hijack this topic a bit:

I just released my curl-similar client `gurl` [0] in a really early
version right now. It supports basic interaction with the protocol, but
does not follow redirects or does TOFU atm. But is already a pretty good
request  debugging tool.

Currently only supports linux builds, but i try to integrate windows and
freebsd support as well

Regards
xq

PS.: Sorry Aaron for thread hijacking, but the topic is perfect

Gemini now has two tools that do the same job, by the same name...
It's too good haha

Now I know what solderpunk means when he talks about our software
to server ratio...

Although I suppose I can't throw stones when I've made two tools
and have ideas for more, but still don't have a server yet :)

Oh, ha. I had no idea.

I agree 100%. I hope I can redeem myself by writing some actual content.

Well, this is awkward...how do you want these projects listed at the
software page?

I mean, it's not necessarily a bad thing, just terribly surprising and
kind of strange.  But I'm mostly taking it as a sign of success - it's
clearly possible for people to build their own Gemini tools quickly and
easily which was part of the whole idea.

My big concern is that during this period of high interest after
appearing on popular news sites, lots of people will write software in
their initial excitement then get bored and moved on, we'll make some
spec changes which require updates to thta software but it won't happen,
and we'll end up with a lot of slightly broken software around.

Cheers,
Solderpunk

Maybe just state the programming language? I'd put MasterQ32's implementation
first because they published first.

I have no problem with changing the name of my project, but i actually
try to mimic real curl command line options, so something similar to
"curl" would be appropriate.

I'd love to hear some suggestions for names!

That's super cool. I'll rename my project tomorrow.

I've renamed the project to `gcat`: https://github.com/aaronjanse/gcat

Very nice to see this naming collision resolved quickly and amicably!
