New Twin, Mobile?

1. Shufei (shufei (a) riseup.net)

How do you do, fellow kids,

I am a new Gemini twin on GCS (thanks, Solderpunk!). Please do drop by. If 
you have any helpful hints on Gemini formatting, please let me know.

Is anyone working on a mobile client or knows a good way to read Gemini 
via mobile right now? I?d especially hope for a iOS client. So if you are 
working on such, please ping me.

Also, how does one open Gemini pages in Bombadillo? With Gemini:// it 
doesn?t like urls. Without, it opens as gopher. And it?s not documented in man yet.

Thanks!
Shufei

Just writing this in a shell works for me:
$ bombadillo gemini://gemini.circumlunar.space

Entering command line mode with space bar also works:
<spc>gemini://gemini.circumlunar.space

There is a mobile client for Android. You can find it at:
https://framagit.org/waweic/gemini-client

I have noticed that it does not work with *all* gemini servers (in
particular the gemlog at 80h.dev).

I haven't checked the code but I wonder if it's not set to use sni? I
had that problem with another client before.

  I'm curious to know which servers don't work with it.

I'm about (as in "as soon I find some time") to port 
https://git.sr.ht/~fabrixxm/alrisha to SailfishOS. Not that will be 
useful to many people, but it will be a mobile client :D

The Android client is coming along really well. The original question
was for iOS, though. Before the Android client came out, I thought that
the best way to Gemini on mobile was the web portal at
https://portal.mozz.us/.

I'll report any others when I use it next. So far that gemlog is the one
that stands out, because it's active and there are a lot of entries in
CAPCOM.

Whoops. I didn't mean to hijack the thread if it was about iOS. I guess
I might have mis-read "especially" in the original post.

I'll enter any new comments on the Android app under a new subject heading.

No problem, glad you've gotten up and running!  Let me know if you want
a cron job running to generate an Atom feed for your Gmiphlog.

Cheers,

Somebody just asked me about this on Mastodon earlier today.

The spec so far does not mention SNI at all, which should definitely be
changed.

It seems to me like servers really ought to be tolerant of it not being
used, which implies having a designated default host.  But also that
clients really ought to be sending it.

Are there good reasons not to make SNI mandatory for clients?  If not
the spec could basically enforce Postel's law here, clients MUST use it
and servers MUST tolerate its absence...

While I'm not a fan of it, I added a default. Which wasn't the problem
anyway.

Turns out I was sending the status and body together. Doing so worked
fine on all the clients I use but I guess not all. It's fixed now.

Sorry to whoever the dev of the client is for thinking it was on your
side.
