OK, so, I've never done this kind of thing before, just PHP'd

websites or using sinatra (ruby) that would take care of the

"small details" for you.

So I tried this on a space I have on the ctrl-c.club tilde

``` #!/usr/bin/ruby

p "20 SUCCESS\n\r" # also tried puts

I don't know how ctrl-c.club works, what server they use etc. But

this (if it's not a copy-paste error) looks wrong. Instead of

"SUCCESS" you should put a media type there, like text/gemini.

Also, the \n and \r are in the wrong order, \r comes first. (puts

should add a \n by itself at the end, so `puts "20 text/gemini\r"`

should be enough).

Also note that `p` is used for debugging (IIRC; I don't know rubyoften). You probably want `print` (or `puts`, to add a newlineautomatically).

So either:

puts "20 text/gemini\r\n"

or:

print "20 text/gemini\r\n\n"
