Is streaming a normative protocol expectation? (was Re: Documents with mixed languages)

[Krixano]

You know what, this whole argument was actually useless, because it's based on a portion of an outdated version of the spec, that portion of text no longer even being present in the latest version of the spec on gitlab: https://gitlab.com/gemini-specification/protocol/-/blob/master/specification.gmi

If we were to read this latest version of the spec, there is absolutely nothing in there that would precluding handling data before the close_notify. Period. Therefore, all clients that do this *are* compliant with the latest WIP version of the spec.

Additionally, it is important to quote this portion of the latest spec:
> While this document just covers the protocol with some mandates for what
> clients and servers have to do, there are other aspects of Gemini that
> aren't covered here in the specification which fall outside the core
> protocol.  Implementors of both clients and servers are RECOMMENDED to
> follow the best practice guide for the Gemini protocol.

and

> Upon sending the complete response (which may include
> content), the server closes the connection and MUST use the TLS close_notify
> mechanism to inform the client that no more data will be sent.
