jullenxx suggested something similar to me on Mastodon a little while
back.  It's a really excellent idea and something I think would
definitely benefit the project.  Please, feel very free to set something
like this up!

I am planning to soon start writing something similar from the client
side - it will send various requests to whatever server you point it at
and check for appropriate responses.  It'll do things like send
malformed requests, send requests for non-Gemini resources, or for
Gemini resources at other hosts, try to connect with old versions of TLS
(or even SSL!), etc.

These two tools should take us a long way toward producing more robust
software.
