Hmm - there is something strange about that URL - it might be molly
brown redirecting. I'll investigate.
Yes - it seems to be a molly brown bug.
If you take a valid URL that references a folder not having a trailing slash, and add a query to it, molly brown goes off on an endless redirect.
For example, try this one:
gemini://gemini.circumlunar.space/capcom?foo
1. Here the "capcom" folder exists with an index.gmi therein2. Molly brown thereby puts a slash on the end of the URL, but what it should do is put a slash after the capcom maybe, thus
gemini://gemini.circumlunar.space/capcom/?foo
not
gemini://gemini.circumlunar.space/capcom?foo/
in this second case, molly brown will redirect again to
gemini://gemini.circumlunar.space/capcom?foo//
and so on.
I'll let solderpunk know.
In the mean time, I suggest not to construct strange parameterised URLs to folder URLs on molly brown!
