Bring back GOPHER!
- wheels 18y agoFirefox still supports Gopher: gopher://hal3000.cx/1/Begin_Here
- trezor 18y agoGopher is to be discontinued in future versions though. The good times are definitely over.
- sounddust 18y agoThe gopher readme is full of gems: The http protocol cannot effectively distribute files however, whether they be documents (.txt for example) or programs (.exe for example). It is bad form to refer to Gopher nostalgicly! ..to refer to Gopher only in the past tense is to do the protocol a great disservice. The protocol has NOT degraded over time, and today it actually functions better than it did in its heyday of popularity. Referring to Gopher like something from the stone-age subconciously puts out the message that Gopher is somehow not useful in the new millenium!
