Quickest way to share a single document over gemini?

Something like pastebin, or free basic (static) hosting. I have a small text document (<100kb) that I'd like to make available over gemini. would it be possible to post the entire thing in a thread on this bbs?

Well, I think I found the answer to my question. If I create a draft on this BBS, I see I have the option to add an attachment up to 100 KB, exactly what I was looking for

It is allowed to have multiple 100 KB attachments in a single post, so technically you could split even longer content into smaller parts. Also, there is no size limit for posts composed out of multiple segments, so you could also use multiple long text segments in the draft composer.

Just be mindful of copyright infringement. I will delete any content if I determine you don't have the right to distribute it here.

I get an "invalid request parameter" error when I try to upload the file with lagrange. Do you know what could cause that? The file is 84kb, lagrange automatically filled in the mimetype as text/plain with utf-8

oh, I changed the mimetype to just "text/plain" and it worked all right. is there a whitelist of mimetypes?

It ought to allow the character encoding to be specified, whether or not it is UTF-8 (I don't know if the server does do this or not, but it would probably be a good idea; when using Titan to upload messages it makes sense to restrict it to UTF-8 (due to technical limitations) but attachments should not be restricted to UTF-8).

However, Titan uses semicolons to specify the Titan parameters, and a semicolon is also used to separate MIME parameters from the MIME type, and I don't know if a bug in something causes it to interfere?
