I think I promised to write down my thoughts about the gopher++
extensions to the original gopher0 protocol.
There were some pretty big mistakes in the document... I'll try to find
some time today to fix some of the most glaring bugs :-).
Interesting thoughts. Two (Ok, three) things I noticed while reading:
There needs to be a way the server can detect that the client doesn't
want to send more data. Usually there's a blank line after the header
fields indicating this.
Visually impaired people usually use screen readers which read text out.
So there's no need for the server to handle this, too. :)
I think there should be a special request sent by the client in order to
probe the server for its capabilities. You're requesting quite a lot on
the server side and a specific implementation might not be able to do it
all. e.g. I got my gopher server running on a small host with only few
available resources (by today's standards). It would take several
minutes to transcode a bigger pdf document into png images.
Yours sincerely,
Dennis Schulmeister
