This is just an idea to, for example, allow the downloading of larger
files properly.
We've had discussions about other features, like including Content-Sizeor Content-Length information in the response, under the sameinspiration of supporting large-file downloads (you can find them in themailing list archives). The overwhelming takeaway from thosediscussions was that Gemini /isn't/ really designed for large-filetransactions - you want protocols with dedicated features for it, likeFTP or HTTP even, so use those instead (or make your own!). Gemini isoriented towards typically short text files intended for directconsumption by a human audience. Everything else, IMO, is secondary.
