Hi there, I am trying to make gemini requests with ncat and have hit a bit of a stumbling block that I am not sure how to solve so was wondering if anyone here knew what was going on. If i make a request as such: echo -e ?gemini://gemini.conman.org\r\n? | ncat ?ssl ?gemini.conman.org? >page.out I get the expected index page from gemini.conman.org printed into a file. However if i try the same with echo -e ?gemini://gemini.circumlunar.space\r\n? | ncat ?ssl ?gemini.circumlunar.space? >page.out I get a 31 redirect. If i try that redirect address which is the same but with a / on the end of the url then the requests fails Where in would expect the gemini.circumlunar.space home page to be output to a file. I feel like there is something obvious I am missing. Anyone done this and know whats wrong? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Aha I see what the problem was! As it happened I had the port in the command but just neglected it in the message, my bad. The fail was caused by putting the / on the end of the url being passed to ncat. With the / on the end of that the lookup fails it appears. Seeing your working command made it obvious. Thanks.
