Get input on gemini

Hi, I was wondering how you would get user input in gemini? For example, 
like gemini://geminispace.info.
I have cgi scripts setup and working too.

If QUERY_STRING cgi variable is empty, return an input prompt:

10 Some prompt text\r\n

If it isn't, parse it and generate a "20 text/gemini" or something
else.

There's also "sensitive input" code (11) for something like passwords.

This reminds me of a possible ambiguity in the spec that I noticed. (I
would have brought this up earlier if I remembered.) The specification
says 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 this
mean that capsules can surve multi-line prompts by including LFs (not
CRLFs) within the <META> portion of the response?
