Gemini Encoding

The gemini specification requires UTF-8 support, though there are other encodings out there. In testing, some random gemini clients either perform "garbage in, garbage out" or may warn about alternative encodings. A test server might help with this:

    $ od -bc latin1
    0000000  102 374 143 150 141 162 012
                B 374   c   h   a   r  \n
    0000007
    $ doas ./gemini-encoding-server 1234 \
      /etc/ssl/localhost.pem \
      /etc/ssl/private/localhost.key \
      iso8859-1 latin1

A localhost certificate may help with testing.
