Uploading Gemini content

  I'm curious as to what you were planning.  Care to share?

  I wouldn't be too sure about that.  My own "proof-of-concept" took about
five hours to write, and it's a separate server of its own.  I did that
because trying to integrate the new URL support would have been too invasive
of a change in GLV-1.12556.

  And while the protocol itself is easy, there were issues I had to be very
cautious about to ensure nothing bad happened when a delete was called for. 
For instance, I had to account for the deletion of a directory and
everything below it.  I also had to handle the creation of multiple
directories for the put method.
