[ANN] Egsam - A new client torture tester

1. Peter Vernigorov (pitr.vern (a) gmail.com)

Pronounced egg-sam :)

Building my client, I noticed that there were edge cases that I wanted
to test but was not able to. Hopefully this is useful to others
building clients as well. I broke up the spec into sections and tested
each one individually. At the end you get a score!

gemini://egsam.pitr.ca/

Source code is at https://github.com/pitr/egsam - if there are any
edge cases missing, please open an issue, or better yet a pull
request/patch.

Cheers!

  You should have said something, I could have added most to my Gemini
Client Torture Test [1].

  It's cool that there's very little overlap between our two test sets. 
It's not cool that I seem to have been a bit slack in coming up with tests. 
Sigh.

  I also like the organization scheme you came up with.

You have been anything but slack in expanding and maintaining your
torture tests, which have been and remain a very valuable resource.

Cheers,

Hopefully my announcement was not taken as a jab at the original
torture tests. I have used your test suite extensively when building
my client, and it made my life easier.

If we can come up with a way to merge the two, I would love it.

  No it wasn't.  And I was a bit surprised that our tests are quite
different in nature.

  Cool.

  I wouldn't mind, but I did write a special module for GLV-1.12556 to
handle the tests.  And I think you also wrote a custom server to handle the
tests as well.  

  This might require some thought ...
