The gemini server at ondollo.com has some URLs to test clients, one of
which will respond with the common name and a chunk from the first part of
the fingerprint.

```
gemini://ondollo.com/internal/test?showCert
```

Using the Mansfield client to hit that url and dump the raw response to the
cli looks like this:

```
./mansfield -rs gemini://ondollo.com/internal/test?showCert
20 text/gemini
common_name_in_cert:26:99:8E
```

I wouldn't mind adding more to the output if it helped you.
