Does anybody know what it would take to get gemini support into lynx

https/gopher/ftp/nntp/wais browser?

I found some exploratory conversation on the lynx mailing list from

2020 (visiblink, dcav, etc participated), but if I remember right

gemini was being heavily bikeshedded then, and now has settled into a

more-or-less finished protocol.

Has anyone tried submitting a patch, corresponding with the

maintainer, or forking it since then?

I don't really know. I asked the question on the mailing list and they

responded that someone should submit a patch. That's fair. I can

program in C, but not well enough to risk every lynx user's security...

So at this point, I make use of Michael Lazar's gemini proxy. It works

quite well.

Just add https://portal.mozz.us/gemini/ before the gemini address in

your bookmarks. It's a workaround, but it's good enough.
