Re: "Misfin Server Ideas"

In: s/misfin

@billsmugs I didn't read it as antagonistic, so don't worry about that :)

Also, you're absolutely correct and I misread the spec. I will have to change my server code to prepend rather than append. This is a simple change.

The thing I still have a question about is if timestamps are grouped together in reverse order like the senders are, or if the sender lines and timestamp lines are intermingled, like so:

@ Final Destination Timestamp

< Mailinglist

@ Mailinglist Timestamp

< Source user

Of if it's supposed to be more like the following:

< Mailinglist

< Source user

@ FInal Destination Timestamp

@ Mailinglist Timestamp

If it's the first one, then I will have to make major changes to my parser, because currently my parser does the second option.

Personally, I don't like that the senders are in reverse order. I feel the source user should always be at the top, not as the last sender line. For mailinglists, you want the source user as the real sender, but for forwarding emails, you want the last sender (the forwarder) as the real sender, I suppose. Hm....

In the python implementation i wrote a gembox folder class that uses the MH mailbox format. Honestly it's much nicer because you don't have to deal with indexes and stuff.

I've got a misfin gemini frontend working where you can register, read your inbox and send messages, it was easier than i expected.

I don't like to output the cert and key in the page but lagrange has this nice feature where it parses a cert/key pair and imports it. The other way would be to have temporary (time-limited or something) URLs that let you download your certificate .. Is there any standard way of doing this with the gemini protocol ?

Misfin Server Ideas — I believe I have written a basic solo-mailbox server in golang. It is running now, so people should be able to test it at my same misfin address (clseibold@auragem.letz.dev). I wanted to outline some ideas that I have for the server: 1. I want it to support both solo-mailbox and multi-mailbox setups. 2. An interesting idea came up when I compared the spec to gemini. Gemini has this proxy ability, I believe, so that it could actually proxy other gemini servers. This led...
