| | | Reference | spartan://spartan.mozz.us/spartan_client.py | | |
| | | | | | |
| | | | Great job of connecting, getting raw page, | | |
| | | | disconnecting. Clean, fast, script-friendly. | | |
| | | | | | |
| | | | ref.client.py [-h] [--infile INFILE] url | | |
| | | | -------------------------------------------- | | |
| | | | Use gmir (listed below) as a viewer for the | | |
| | | | raw pages this script retrieves: | | |

| | | https://github.com/dillo-browser/dillo-plugin-spartan | | |
| | | | | |
| | | Flawless install (~/.dillo/dpi and dpidrc) but none of | | |
| | | the spartan pages load/render. Both the gemini and gopher| | |
| | | plugins are working great. | | |
| | |----------------------------------------------------------| | |
| | | gmir: https://github.com/codesoap/gmir | | |
| | | | | |
| | | This util is a reader for gemtext files (gmi). It makes | | |
| | | it an ideal helper for browsers that retrieve raw gmi. | | |
| | | Also makes a great standalone gmi viewer (gmir -h for | | |
| | | display of key bindings). | | |
| | | | | |
| | | The .tar.gz file contains the single portable binary. | | |

'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------.
| I found two posts related to discussions of a Gemini browser for DOS: |
| |
| - https://redd.it/sis7lb |
| - https://www.bttr-software.de/forum/forum_entry.php?id=17743 |
| |
| The major problem facing older systems like DOS (and others) is trying to |
| provide TLS support. |
| |
| This led me to review the other various emerging smolnet protocols. Spartan |
| stuck out because it's basically Gemini/Gemtext without the TLS requirement.|
| The differences between gemini and spartan are highlighted below: |
| |
| * spartan://spartan.mozz.us |
| * https://her.st/usr/bin/atlas-gemini-server.html |
| |
| Spartan also helps show how the various smolnet protocols aren't necessarily|
| competing with each other but rather... helping to extend the smolnet in |
| various useful ways. |
