[Tech] A server to test client certificates?

Stephane Bortzmeyer <stephane (a) sources.org>

I'm quite sad that gemini://gemini.conman.org/ is gone, it was very
useful for, among other things, testing client certificate support in
a Gemini client.

I'm looking for an alternative. Is there another server that accepts
client certificates and echoes in some way the received cert, to
include in a test suite for a client?

The gemini server at ondollo.com has some URLs to test clients, one of
which will respond with the common name and a chunk from the first part of
the fingerprint.

 ```
gemini://ondollo.com/internal/test?showCert
 ```

Using the Mansfield client to hit that url and dump the raw response to the
cli looks like this:

 ```
./mansfield -rs gemini://ondollo.com/internal/test?showCert
20 text/gemini
common_name_in_cert:26:99:8E
 ```

I wouldn't mind adding more to the output if it helped you.
