Client testing time! More tests! This time, checking the status codes. It's an open question as to what a client should do with an invalid succss code and an invalid redirection status. The rest of the results I think should be fine. -spc

Did the spec say that the MIME type after a 2x is optional and if unspecified defaults to text/gemini? (checks) No, it doesn't. So a naked 20 is also invalid. And I guess an invalid redirect is one without a valid URL. It seems to me like all a client ought to do in such a scenario is to inform its user that it received an invalid response in a graceful manner, rather than crash? Cheers, Solderpunk
