Of the two clients I use (generally portal.mozz.us but sometimes the
simple one I wrote), this link causes them to fail:
gemini://idiomdrottning.org/
Namely because both these clients get a redirection to:
gemini://idiomdrottning.org
but both clients will always send:
gmeini://idiomdrottning.org/
(well, I can speak for my own client which does that, I suspect that's
what's happening for portal.mozz.us). There's language in RFC-3986 about
this particular case (section 6.2.3).
