[gopher] Re: Gopher+ Protocol Question



Scratch that, this is what a gopher+ guide said, but the official protocol
says otherwise.  So if after the selector there is a tab and something, if
it starts with one of +,!,$ it is gopher+, otherwise it is a search
string.  Do clients ever send an empty search string, then the gopher+
stuff?
