there was a good push to include gemini into curl but the developer ultimately decided gemini was too niche for the project.

I think there is a way to do it with netcat, but I can't remember how.

@gritty -- I think being too niche is great!

Perhaps this would work:

Yeah, there's gurl and gemget, and a couple other tools, iirc. They should be listed on awesome-gemini in the tools section.

Someone should definitely create an updated tool and put it in all the linux repos. Turns out no other tools besides kristall and molly-brown are in the Debian repo.

I'm on debian (sid, tho), and I've installed from the repos things like: bombadillo, amfora, offpunk, lowdown. Ereandel and elpher also appear to be available. I see no gurl or gemget, that's true. Anyway, some things are available

@jmcs Ah, missed those I guess. Just looked again, and yeah, those are also in there. I think lagrange is on Fedora, but not Debian, afaik.

Correction: I'm on Ubuntu, not Debian, lol.

Is there a curl for gemini? — Is there a curl for [gemini link] i'm thinking about doing some iframe-like stuff in one of my CGIs, and to embed part of one page into another i need a tool that i can call with a url and just get the gemlog output, not the rendered page like in a browser. anyone has a recomendation for that?
