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 ... )
