There exists a gemini browser testsuite that you might want to try!
Finding the repo took longer than expected. Most search engines give either googles gemini AI, gemini crypto blockchain, gemini starsigns, gemini rocket and rarely about the gemini protocol itself. Use this instead GitHub - kr1sp1n/awesome-gemini: A collection of awesome things regarding the gemini protocol ecosystem. · GitHub 
I remember navigating gemini space a few years ago when the protocol was still in development! (back then the only usable clients where tuis)

Only a handful of tests are failing, but nothing critical. Thank you, now I can address them 
Glad to help! 
I had looked into writing a gemini client in ada before but I’m not that comfortable with the GNAT.Sockets extension and I have other projects that interest me more.
If I have enough time, I might look into it again but till then I guess you’ll have already written one

I do not plan to write a client, feel free to do so
HTTP is next on my list 
If you ever need a TLS library you can check out GitHub - tomekw/padlock: libtls in Ada · GitHub

Published a binary release for Linux x86_64, so you don’t have to use Tada I can prepare it for other targets as well.
Addressed!
