Caps.txt looks like a way to make gopher client development a pita. If
you want to use newer features you will have to send at least two re‐
quests, of which one implies parsing an arbitrary file.
I can’t support this. Such complexity is the reason why I am still sup‐
porting gopher over the web.
Sincerely,
Christoph
