  Point the client to any of the following:

	gemini://gemini.conman.org/test/redirhell/
	gemini://gemini.conman.org/test/redirhell2/
	gemini://gemini.conman.org/test/redirhell3/
	gemini://gemini.conman.org/test/redirhell4
	gemini://gemini.conman.org/test/redirhell5

  (NOTE:  the links will continuously redirect)

  I suspect that most would expect the client to stop making requests after
N redirects.  What's N?  That hasn't been decided yet.
