My Web-to-Gopher proxy now handles HTTPS directly. This |
|
shouldn’t make any external difference, but it now lets me |
|
log each incoming request with the actual remote IP address |
|
rather than 127.0.0.1 (which is what stunnel connected to |
|
the proxy from). |
|
|
|
The changes to add HTTPS were surprisingly minimal (thanks, |
|
Go!). |
|
|
|
Also, I switched to using Mozz’s Smolnet Portal for external |
|
links (from Floodgap’s Gopher proxy) as it seems to be |
|
faster and isn’t being overloaded by AI scrapers (sigh). |

I’m finally learning about PGP. It’s been out for, what, |
|
34 years? (I honestly haven’t needed it before, but I just |
|
added a security.txt file to my site[1] and signed it with |
|
PGP, which gave me a reason to learn about it.) |
|
|
 |
[1] security.txt |
|
|
|
(Through a little hack, security.txt is also available at |
|
/.well-known/security.txt without a Gopher type.) |

So my Web site now has TLS using stunnel. Try it out[2]! |

Made my own Gopher menu icons in my WWW-to-Gopher proxy to |
|
replace the Floodgap icons. |
|
|
|
Also moved my proxy over to port 80 (the standard HTTP |
|
port). This means it’s officially my Web site. |
|
|
|
If you find any issues with the proxy, please let me |
|
know[3]. |

My WWW-to-Gopher proxy is almost fully functional! I’m still |
|
working on icons and little things here and there (I copied |
|
icons from Floodgap’s proxy as placeholder images—I needed |
|
_something_ during development). |

Started developing a proxy so you can view this hole over |
|
WWW. If it’s up it’ll be at http://asciz.com:8000[4]. |
|
Eventually I plan to use it as my main Web site. |

Added `URL:` selector support to my site. Now you can follow |
|
WWW (and other) links from non–hURL-aware Gopher clients, |
|
such as w3m. |

Tested this site in Lagrange and fixed a handful of info |
|
lines (type `i` menu items) which were missing a host and |
|
port (Lagrange doesn’t display those). |

|
Refactored path handling in my Gopher server. Now it allows |
|
selectors without a leading `/` or with `.` or `..` path |
|
components (the path is lexically normalized: `/x/y/.././.` |
|
is condensed to `/x`, so there’s no issues with following a |
|
symlink’s parent or the like). This will allow it to support |
|
selectors like `URL:http://example.com/` or `robots.txt` |
|
(without a leading `/`) in the future. |
|
|
|
Also, I’m about ready to unleash my server’s source code |
|
upon the world at this point. I’m polishing up documentation |
|
and an included example Gopher site. |
