If you hit that script with a client certificate attached, you will see the certificate info as well! That is how you can track sessions or whatever.

That's neat! Thanks for this 🙂 I've been pondering making a CGI script too so being able to peek behind the curtains like this helps.

See the Skylab misfin client source for a pretty complex CGI gemini application:

Thanks for the tip to look around on GitHub, Sourcehut or similar for Gemini CGI scripts applications. I didn't have that on my screen. Thanks for that

The main differences between Gemini and http cgis are:

you output a gemini response;

html is not used for output;

client certificate hash may be used to identify clients.

Keeping that in mind, any cgi tutorial is useful (not just gemini)
