is fun they quote security as the reason why gopher:// is removed but http/ftp is still there, one would think if it really was out of security concerns http, ftp, anything but pure ascii text would have been ban, and oh, it should probabilly ignore any user input as those users are a real security issue. :)
Yes, I was also wondering about what the "security risk" could be.As a non-programmer I would think there are 2 possible outcomes if you click on a Gopher link;
- the OS complains that it does not know what to do with it (most likely event)
- the Gopher site opens in the default gopher client.What I do appreciate is that person who closed it tiik the time to look-up and refer to older bugs about Gopher, about the removal of gopher from Firefox, what is interesting reading.
