PEBCAK Power!!!

My PEBCAK power has never been so strong like before these days...

It happened that I have hit an uncovered (maybe?) issue with GMI page, BOM and Clients...

I feel ashamed for this... :-P

@gnuserland Well they're invisible little fuckers very often end up where they don't belong. If the gemini protocol for example says you are supposed to send a status code, but you actually send a BOM followed by a status code, then many clients will be sad. · 4 years ago

@marginalia

This goes beyond my knowledge but I couldn't understand why this BOM should affect the Gemini's clients... · 4 years ago

Sometimes I think BOMs are just there to haze people that are new to UTF-8. · 4 years ago
