Gopher servers are inconsistent in this regard. You can't depend upon
servers to terminate lines correctly. When I wrote the WikkaWiki
gopher proxy, I quickly discovered that writing code to the RFC was
not going to work. You'll have to deal with any number of line
terminators if you want intercompatibility.
