Hello! I'm trying to make a Gemini browser in the Godot game engine, just for fun.. :p

I think it should be possible since Godot has TLS support[1], but I'm not sure how to get it to work with Gemini. Whenever I try to connect to sites like gemini://geminiprotocol.net/ it seems to fail with a STATUS_ERROR_HOSTNAME_MISMATCH status.

=> 1: https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/classes/class_streampeertls.html

Can someone help me out? I don't really know anything about TLS. Like, what should I put as common_name in the connect_to_stream[2] method? Should I get my own certificate from somewhere? Godot seems to already include its own[3].

I don't know anything about Godot, but if I'm reading the API correctly, it seems that the method you mentioned performs certificate verification. The "common_name" should be the FQDN of the site you want to access (for instance, if you want to access gemini://maiaforum.net/index.gmi, the FQDN would be "maiaforum.net"). For the 3rd argument, you will likely need to disable verification completely, or find an option that will allow self-signed certificates (which are standard for Gemini), since most TLS libraries don't accept those by default.

Are you going to make it 3D like an old Gopher browser (forgot the name) where you navigate the links in a 3D environment?

[SOLVED!]

I figured it out. turns out you just gotta wait for the TCP to connect first before you add the TLS layer. (and you gotta call the poll method at lot.)
