Announcing go-gemini, a Go library implementing the Gemini protocol

Hello! I wrote a Gemini library for Go similar to net/http.

https://sr.ht/~adnano/go-gemini

On the client side, it provides an easy-to-use TOFU implementation using
a list of known hosts (located at $XDG_DATA_HOME/gemini/known_hosts by
default). It also makes it easy for clients to provide client-side
certificates when servers request them.

TOFU is implemented following these guidelines:
https://drewdevault.com/2020/09/21/Gemini-TOFU.html
Drew and I have since agreed to conform to using
$XDG_DATA_HOME/gemini/known_hosts (or ~/.local/share/gemini/known_hosts
if $XDG_DATA_HOME is not set) as the default known hosts path, to
make it consistent between clients.

On the server side, it supports handling different schemes and hosts
(including wildcard hostnames). There is also support for parsing
gemtext and outputting it as HTML, which is useful for HTTP to Gemini
proxies.

Enjoy!

You're infringing on my namespace there pal ;)

No real worries of course, it's just too bad to have the same name
like that. Your library definitely looks a lot more featureful though.
I might think about switching to using it, but I'm pretty comfortable
with mine right now. It's mostly a personal library.

Nice work! I will add a link to yours on my README.

Should have put it on sourcehut for better discoverability :)

Awesome and congrats! I'm interested in checking this out soon. Also, I
totally agree, it needs to be on sr.ht.

Thanks,

Jordan
