Re: "how i write this when only GET like request is valid?"
The URL still needs to be percent-encoded, so an arbitrary file must be really small to fit into 1024 bytes.
Yes, Titan is a better choice for uploading data to a server. It uses TLS just like Gemini, so it is encrypted. The server can define the maximum upload size limitation.

@clseibold Technically gemini can support multiple & separated fields in a request. The problem is that a type 10 response will just put the value as the querystring. But there is nothing stopping you from using a link like gemini://example.com/cgi/mycgi?a=12&b=23
So you can have cgi applications that take in multiple values, but they have to come from hard coded links and not as a request to a type 10 response. There are quirky ways to work around all of that too, of course.
All that to say: I mostly agree with you regarding GET, but with an asterisk. I certainly agree with you that it is not apt to compare gemini and http responses/requests.
I think the original poster may also mean user auth and such? Which, of course, is done with client certs.

auth i get, i didn't get the get part. (:
how i write this when only GET like request is valid? — that's the question. how this text is published if gemini only supports get like requests and the request only contains the url.
