* disrespecting robots.txt, the protocol spec and common sense
Yeah, tell me about it. Here's the robots.txt I had (have):
User-agent: *
Disallow: /test/redirhell

Speaking of specifications, remember that robots.txt is notstandardized anywhere, even when you limit yourself to the Web (and itis worse for Gemini, which has no User-Agent: field). There areseveral documents floating on the net and the examination of therobots.txt of Gemini capsules indicate a lot of variety.

(Your robots.txt is very simple and therefore fits into the commonsubset of all robots.txt documentation/software. But it is not thecase for all robots.txt.)
