This is the opposite of helpful.

What can connect to it? How do I use it? If I need to implement my own protocol, then the answer is "no" followed by "what are you on?"

I wrote a "astroget" program which can download the file (and supports several protocols, including Gemini, Gopher, Spartan, HTTP, etc). It is also possible to use netcat. The program to display the file is not yet written, as far as I know. However, the specification file is plain text file, in order to ensure that you can read it without needing to implement it at first.
Hint: don't pull foolish stunts like this, unless you are trying to annoy people.
