I support putting much of the work on the server, because I think Gopher's biggest benefit is a VIC-20 could be made to be a gopher client.Let's not forget that the same machine can be a gopher server!Quite, which is why I want servers to be able to refuse to transcode. But I think allowing it *facultatively* is overall beneficial.
Well, if we stick on plain text (which is what you'd have to do with a VIC anyway) always serving out US-ASCII works. Even if the client requests UTF-8 sending out US-ASCII is a valid thing to do (since US-ASCII is just a binary-compatible subset of UTF-8).
PETSCII however is a completely different thing :-). - Kim _______________________________________________ Gopher-Project mailing list Gopher-Project@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/gopher-project
