Re: Gemini protocol mime type

Do you know it it is possible to define a mime type for gemini
protocol, using an specific tool for showing gemini links? How it
should be done?

MIME types apply to content, not protocols. The gemini protocol can be
used to serve multiple MIME types (including e.g. image/jpeg and
audio/mp3).

The unofficial MIME type for _gemtext_ content is text/gemini. i say
'unofficial' because the 'official' list of MIME types is maintained by
the IANA; refer to:

  https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/media-types.xhtml

for the details.

i'm not aware of any software which serves up gemtext content using a
different MIME type, but if so, i'd be interested to know what it's
using instead (perhaps text/plain?).

Does that help?
