This meant I had to change my server from only understanding how to process the single request line of standard requests to processing the request line *and* the body when it sees a response to a 12. So I needed to tell the difference between requests with a body and ones without.

Having bodies allows for the expansion of the Gemini protocol, and
would make it much like HTTP.
