Cyrillic text in filenames? I can't find any information about this in the specification: [nex link] When trying to URL-encode, the Lagrange browser does not decode these names in listing view. There is also no Alt text option, as implemented in Gemtext. If the Nex protocol is ASCII-oriented, it should be mentioned somewhere in the specification. /s/nex/32478 Yet another related subject

I'm experimenting with the Nex blog, using different file names: .txt, .gmi, and even names without extensions. Once, I added a filename that ended with a "?" and received a "Not Found" error in all installed browsers. The address string looks like this: [preformatted] where the "file?" part is filename, yes. My question is: is this behavior expected? As far as I know, the Nex protocol does not have a "query" part. Or does it?

A simple nex server in sh — I was bored over lunch the other day and spit out a super simple nex server. The only dependency is `socat`. [https link] nex.sh

Could somebody please check this page in Lagrange: [nex link] I can't understand why does it ignores links there, is this a bug or some plain/nex markdown feature?

Adding to the ever growing ways of serving tiny content, I spun up a nex daemon to cross serve my pages. [nex link] Though for some reason links on the second page [nex link] aren't seen as links in Lagrange. Trying to work out if this is a bug in my server or the browser. Server is just providing text after all. Do all links need to be absolute? cc. @skyjake

I have just published the initial release of Nexy, a multi-network server for the Nex protocol, written in Rust. This is not the final version, but I want to share the code for review because I am unsure about the multi-thread implementation without Tokio and am looking for testers. I created it for my personal Yggdrasil+Mycelium instance, which I plan to launch using it soon. [https link] [https link]

Fixed security vulnerability in Bash Nex server — Fixed a security vulnerability in my Nex server that could allow a client to access files outside the configured root directory by using ".." in the requested path.

Nex server in Bash — Edit: This version has a security vulnerability that could allow a client to access files outside the configured root directory. Fixed version is at: Wrote a Nex server in Bash. It is a script that takes a filepath as an input, and then uses the cat command to respond with whatever file is at that path, or responds with "document not found" if the file does not exist. It does not have any networking by itself,...

miki (nex server) — earlier today i noticed that my nex daemon was the most memory-hungry process on my openbsd server, which felt kind of... wrong? anyway, i wrote a server in c with the same functionality (based on my gemini and spartan servers) like my go server, it's only active from dusk until dawn (well, roughly) and like my gemini and spartan servers, it's named after a character from the manga and anime city hunter

Nex port number — 1900 is only a rough approximation of sunset time... I think the port should be set for the exact hour-minute of the sunset at the server location, changing daily.

Data upload? — So the spec is really short and I'm not sure I understood it completely. Does anyone know if uploading data is supported? Could you make something like a BBS with just Nex or would you need someting else to upload data? Cause from what I can tell there's no way to upload data. Also what's up with directories? From what I understood from the spec, if the server sends => and then a url, that's a link to something in the directory. But how does that client know it's supposed to be...

I haven't seen much on Nex, just discovered it. Are there any Py / Ruby libs that any one knows about?

I finally got around to spinning up a [nex link] server. It's a fun protocol! [nex link] [https link] (http proxy) Does anyone else use it? I searched around and found a couple of dead links, but only one other active server besides nightfall.city. [nex link] [preformatted]
