If QUERY_STRING cgi variable is empty, return an input prompt:
10 Some prompt text\r\n

This reminds me of a possible ambiguity in the spec that I noticed. (Iwould have brought this up earlier if I remembered.) The specificationsays the following about responses:

Gemini response[s] consist of a single CRLF-terminated header line,
optionally followed by a response body.

It also says that clients must recognize both CRLF and LF as line-terminators, with the exception of responses requiring CRLF. Does thismean that capsules can surve multi-line prompts by including LFs (notCRLFs) within the <META> portion of the response?
