Above

An async Gemini Protocol server with support for multi-tenancy. Above supports middleware, with default middleware for blocking, naive in-memory caching, logging, redirects, & a static file server included. Also included are utilities for certificate creation & DNS-based authentication (DANE).

Status

3 - Alpha in Python terms.

(Those Python statuses are 1 - Planning, 2 - Pre-alpha, 3 - Alpha, 4 - Beta, 5 - Production/Stable, 6 - Mature, 7 - Inactive.)

Currently not handled:

• user input or client certificates
• proxy requests to other domains or protocols
• anything not quite in the standard. Maybe...

Why

I've read that the heyday of the Gemini Protocol's passed. I don't know, even if it has passed it's still an interesting take on fixing some of what ails the web. If only to delve into the depths of TCP & TLS, & to appreciate again the wonders of HTTP.

None of the other Gemini servers I looked at offered quite the same mix of features as Above in quite the same way. So here we are.
