But anyway, the URL is not a valid one - were you just playing
around or did you follow a link from somewhere that linked to that
URL?
Following a link. (Unfortunately, Lupa does not register where did the
URL in its database comes from.)
For client authors, there is also the recommendation in the Gemini "best practices" doc to not automatically follow more than N (suggested N=5) redirects. This would prevent getting stuck in any intentional or inadvertent redirect tar pits that await.
I think there is are some intentional infinite redirect loops in the client torture tests as well as the usual inadvertent server or CGI bugs out in the geminiverse.
