   Ncat and Netcat (check the existence of '-c' and '-T') can fetch stuff   
   from Gemini servers:   
      
   ------------------------------------------------------------------------   
   $ printf 'gemini://geminiprotocol.net/\r\n' \   
   | ncat --ssl geminiprotocol.net 1965 | less   
   ------------------------------------------------------------------------   
      
   ------------------------------------------------------------------------   
   $ printf 'gemini://geminiprotocol.net/\r\n' \   
   | nc -c -T noverify geminiprotocol.net 1965 | less   
   ------------------------------------------------------------------------   
      
   Wrapping that in some hands full of AWK to find links and iterate over   
   them should not require deep magic.   
      
   Some browsers capable of accessing gemini: can save the fetched files'   
   and gemini pages' source, maybe they would even be easier to integrate   
   in own scripts?   
      
   TL;DR: There is no showstopper.
