@skyjake Indeed, should have used preformatted text, i'll edit it. Thank you.

@norayr No, not yet, but that's something i plan on implementing at some point, i'll create a project issue so that i don't forget .. Gemalaya automatically runs a levior instance and rewrites all http urls to go through levior, and since i mainly use gemalaya to browse and post on the geminispace, i don't need levior to act as an http proxy ...
Ok i've looked into it and the http proxy mode can be implemented with very few changes. Thanks for the suggestion @norayr.
@norayr I've made the necessary changes in levior and the http proxy mode seems to work well enough with Lagrange and others. I'll push the changes soon on a devel branch and build an AppImage so that you can test it if you want.
@norayr I've implemented the http proxy mode in levior, it wasn't too much work. You can try this AppImage. You need to run it with --mode=http-proxy or --mode=proxy. The AppImage is much lighter now ...

I've only tried a few pages. Please report any issues you have with this mode here. I probably won't make this the default mode cause not all gemini browsers support using an http proxy.
omg i can't believe it... will check now.
this is so cool! thank you very much!
You're welcome. I've tried search queries with searx and it works:
https://searx.be/search?q=gemini
But for example lite.duckduckgo.com doesn't work at all, is that because of the http user agent ? I'll see if it's related, in that case i'll add a setting for the user agent.
levior's proxy mode feature has been pushed to master. Not yet the default mode.
i believe it is indeed user agent related. are you able to confirm now?
@norayr actually lite duckduckgo doesn't care about the http user agent, levior shows the search results. what doesn't work, is opening the links, because the search results links aren't direct, they go through duckduckgo.com first, and that fails for some reason
either way, ddg is really terrible now and i always use searxng (which works with levior), they don't intercept the links
today from [gemini link] the smokey capsule i learned about gemini to http proxies. have chosen [https link] duckling proxy because it is written in go. it is amazing. i don't quite understand how it chooses emojis (like favicons) for some pages. i run it as `./duckling-proxy -c cert/proxy.tld.pem -k cert/key.pem -p 1977 -a 0.0.0.0 -u "NetSurf/3.10 (Linux)"` i had to add the netsurf user agent, because i was trying to make duckduckgo search working with "/?q=search term" url. otherwise...
