Re: the "double digits gopher type" I believe what you are seeing is described in section 3.4.1 of RFC 1738: Note that some Gopher <selector> strings begin with a copy of the <gophertype> character, in which case that character will occur twice consecutively. The Gopher selector string may be an empty string; this is how Gopher clients refer to the top-level directory on a Gopher server. Hope that helps. :) Matt -- Matt Lewandowsky Big Geek Greenviolet matt@greenviolet.net http://www.greenviolet.net +1 415 578 5782 (US) +44 844 484 8254 (UK) Sent from my BlackBerry 10 smartphone.
Just noticed that a GopherCon actually was a thing, at least in 1993.
Did anyone from this list attend? What type of talks were there? Anything you can recall that really sparked your attention? Is there also an archive of GopherCon topics and talks in Gopherspace? Here's a document that I found, but can no longer access: gopher://it.is.rice.edu:70/00/TripReports/IS/gophercon-93 Seems like we need a Wayback Machine for Gopherspace. Something that I also noticed from this URL is that the Gopher type is in double digits, whereas most Gopher types I see these days are only in single digits. Was there plans before to make Gopher type a double digit? Here's a HTTP version of the same document, if your curious for a read: http://prentissriddle.com/trips/gophercon1993.html I'd say, we should contact the author of this website and ask if we can archive this document in Gopherspace. -- Best Regards, Kevin Veroneau Kevin Veroneau Consulting Services kevin@veroneau.net https://www.veroneau.net/ _______________________________________________ Gopher-Project mailing list Gopher-Project@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gopher-project | ||
