Re: [gopher] Gopher+ support in the community

The problem with extensions to gopher is getting people to use them. It turns out even Gopher+ that is around since ever couldn’t get much traction.

If you decide to go with Gopher+ : here is my server that implements it: gopher://matjaz.zapto.org/ The implementation is quite complete, it works with UMN Gopher client. It uses multiple views, ASK forms, file details …

Cheers :)

I also concur about your thoughts on Gopher+. I'd personally like to develop a more modern extension that would both be easier to implement on server and client side.

Yes, perhaps having a separate thread for TLS would be good.

 +1 on Gopher over TLS being optional.

I'm also in support of optional TLS.  As for gopher+ I think it's the
proverbial kicked dead equine. BTW, why are we discussing TLS in a
"gopher+" thread?  They aren't really related - better to give TLS its
own thread, no?
