nameless python script to archive a gemini capsule

TODO write a proper readme

usage

pip install -r requirements.txt
python "gemini://example.com" "~/archive/example.com/"

first argument is url to capsule without trailing slash. second argument is the folder where it'll be stored.

motivation

i saw a notice about a capsule closing and i wanted to copy it before it went offline. i emailed the owner and they said they're ok with it.

output format

given the url gemini://yretek.com/articulos/index.gmi, it'll output a gemini___yretek.com_articulos_index.gmi file with the following headers:

 1   │ Date: 2023-01-22 07:30
 2   │ URL: gemini://yretek.com/articulos/index.gmi
 3   │ Client status: 2
 4   │ Server status: 20
 5   │ Certificate: b7b63cefcc6c6779b9e336b2d06dad41
 6   |
 7   |
 8   |  < file contents >

the output has some metadata at the top (resembling http headers) followed by "\r\n\r\n" and the content. i'm sure there's some sort of format readily available for archives but i couldn't be bothered to implement anything.

currently archived

i'll upload to archive.org at some point.
