  Pretty cool, but it fails on loading any of the proposed RFCs on my site:

	gemini://gemini.conman.org/gRFC/

I think that's because I send a MIME type of 

	text/gemini; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed

which confuses it.  I changed one of the documents to just return 

	text/gemini

and it loaded fine.

  There's a way around it---you can view it at

	https://portal.mozz.us/?url=gemini.conman.org%2Ftest%2Fbullet.gemini

  Basically, I created a "bulletted list" by making each bullet point a
link.  Hey, it works.

  -spc (It also a decent test for parsing URLs---the gateway doesn't do a
	proper job actually ... )
