It was thus said that the Great Stephane Bortzmeyer once stated:
The rest is marginal, less than ten URI:
49 : First status code I find which is not in the official
specification. Anyone has an idea? Two URI.
2 : Old server with the deprecated one-digit status codes?
39 : Not in the official specification. Anyone has an idea? Two URI.
59 : Bad request (no idea why my client sends bad requests)
99 : Not in the official specification. Anyone has an idea? Two URI.
58 : Not in the official specification. Anyone has an idea? Two URI.
29 : Not in the official specification. Anyone has an idea? Two URI.
43 : Proxy error. Reason unknown.
61 : Certificate not authorised. Since I do not send client
certificates, this is surprising.
41 : Server not available (maintenance, for instance).
52 : Gone. Like 51 but final. Just one URI,
<gemini://gemini.conman.org/no-longer-here/> so it's probably a test.
22 : Not in the official specification. Anyone has an idea? One URI.
69 : Not in the official specification. Anyone has an idea? One URI.
19 : Not in the official specification. Anyone has an idea? One URI.
The number of status codes not registered in the specification may
mean that some servers are extending the Gemini protocol with unused
status codes. But some are also in test capsules like
<gemini://gemini.conman.org/> or <gemini://egsam.glv.one/>.
The Gemini Client Torture Test [1] is responsible for the followingerroneous status codes:
99, 29, 39, 49, 58, 2, and 0.
I know there's another client test out there, so it could be that as well.
