I'm adding socks support for Agunua<gemini://gemini.bortzmeyer.org/software/agunua/> and I was wonderingwhich environment variables to use to indicate the socks proxy. HTTPclients typically use http_proxy with a pseudo-URL as value, forinstance:

export http_proxy=socks://localhost:1080/

Is there already a convention for gemini? Name the variablegemini_proxy and use the same pseudo-URL syntax?
