Omar,
Thank you for your help.
There are some difference on how Gemini servers implements CGI.
Usually[0] they just execute your script with a bunch of environment
variable set, and expect you to handle the transaction. For instance, a
simple "hello world"-tier script could be:
#!/bin/sh
printf "20 text/gemini\r\n"
echo "# Hello Gemini"
I can see that this would work.
but check the documentation of your server of choice (and also the
protocol specification.)
Cheers,
Omar Polo
I didn't notice that agate was static only - but problem solved: know the format and to check server.
[0]: At least with gmid, GLV-1.12556 and (to some extent) vger; don't
know what other servers do.
I'm probably going to go with GLV
Thanks Neil
