Hello,
I'am looking to make an input field on a gemini capsule page like the gemini search engine,
but i've read the gemtext doc and i cannot find how to do that ...
can you point me to some doc on how to do this ?
regards

text/gemini doesn't have anything like a text input. Instead, you put alink to a page that replies with the 10 or 11 status code and that willmake the browser showing a text field and send what the user typed asquery part of the url.

Using geminispace.info as example, they provide a link "search" thatlooks like this:

=

/search Search

When the server receives a request for ``/search'' it replies with 10:

% printf "gemini://geminispace.info/search\r\n" | \ nc -c -Tnoverify geminispace.info 1965 10 Search query %

usually browser will pop up a text field in this case, and then visitthe page

/search?<user query here>

So, if you search for "kittens" the browser will visit the page

gemini://geminispace.info/search?kittens
