Hi all, I'm just starting to play around with gemini -- seems very interesting! I have started writing a patch for curl which adds support for the gemini protocol. I just joined the mailing list, so I am not sure if anyone has already done any work with curl; I did see some mentions of `gurl` tools in the archives but I did not see mention of curl itself. My curl tree with the gemini patch is available here: https://git.sr.ht/~benburwell/curl If you build it, you should be able to successfully run `curl gemini://gemini.circumlunar.space`. It's currently the result of about a hour's worth of hacking, so beware of dragons. I plan to make it a bit more robust as well as add better response header handling (think `curl -i` -- right now they are just printed without being parsed at all), redirect handling (think `curl -L`) and alternate URL handling (think `curl -H host:other.site http://example.com`). I suspect that a patch to add support for a new protocol would not be accepted to the upstream curl project at least until there is a finalized spec. In the meantime, feel free to build/use this for non-production purposes, and if anyone has already done work on this I'd be curious to learn about it. Best, Ben
