Hi Matthew,

nice job! some parts really do look similar to my perl-code - same problem generates similar programs…

I am able to read python-code, but have very little experience with the language. That "whitespace has a meaning" thing from the first version really kept me away…

My GGI-package goes a little further with automatic redirection:

* if the variable QUERY_STRING is not empty, it will print a temporary re-direct with the content of tge query-string attached to the URL into the PATH-component (PATH_INFO) and exit. * This will change the url from for example: gemini://server.domain/cgi-bin/man?grep to gemini://server.domain/cgi-bin/man/grep, so that the next input can be requested from the client without overwriting the first value * All this happens transparent for the application without the developer to re-implement that re-direct in each program.

My gemini-capsule is not yet officially on-line, but you can find the GGI-package at gemini://h2903872.stratoserver.net/

i am not sure if the author of the Molly-Brown server is reading this list,

i tried to sign up on tildegit.org, but they won't accept my e-mail address

there. I have created a perl-package to make the development of CGI programs

for the gemini-space somewhat easier for perl-programmers, especially the

handling of multiple parameters can be handled fully transparent for the

application.

But that mechanism is based on the SCRIPT_NAME cgi-variable!

In the hopes that you may find this useful, I have a light wrapper I use

to write CGIs for Molly Brown in Python. It has served me fairly well with

fairly complex CGIs.

Module:

gemini://going-flying.com/git/cgi/gemini.git/tree/master/cgi-bin/gmicgi/__init__.py

Some demo code:

gemini://going-flying.com/git/cgi/gemini.git/tree/master/cgi-bin/test

All the CGIs I have at the moment:

gemini://going-flying.com/git/cgi/gemini.git/tree/master/cgi-bin/
