Thank you very much Robert!
The reason why i have not considered gemserv is that it is written in /rust/ another language to which my exposure is NULL!
And the instructions on your website scared me off: As said, i am not a rust developer and there are none of the rust tools installed on any of my machines, so i would have to install the basic rust toolchain first…

Just realized I forgot to link gemserv. My bad.

Hi Stephane,
Thank you very much for the update. That leaves me with three options now:
Actually there are four. :P
1. Try again to install Pythron 3.7+ on my stubborn development machine
(Oracle Lunix 7…)
2. Learn go really quickly and fork the Molly Brown server - i will
call it »the sunken Molly Brown server« in that case
3. Write my own gemini server from scratch in perl
4. Use literally any other Gemini server. gemserv[1], for instance, correctly implements PATH_INFO
(which is actually the issue here, since SCRIPT_PATH -
SCRIPT_NAME is as simple as figuring out
the base directory of the Gemini server) and SCRIPT_NAME (so you don't have to do the SCRIPT_PATH
trickery). There are others as well.
It really looks like only Molly Brown and JetForce have a usable CGI-implementation.
Again, gemserv and other servers have usable CGI implementations (including gemserv actually
implementing SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO).
We should call it GGI, btw: Gemini Gateway Interface to distinguish it from CGI.
Why, exactly? I get the fact that you can't name your library CGI.pm, but that doesn't really
warrant changing the name of an entire technology. :P
Just my two cents,
