1 # Gopher Protocol |
|
2 |
|
3 ## Introduction |
|
4 |
|
5 Gopher is a really old protocol. It has much history to preserve. Over |
|
6 time and development the usage changed from the original RFC 1436 (see |
|
7 rfc1436.txt) to usage now (2018). We now use UTF-8, we have other media |
|
8 format, file type detection is more advanced, the web has grown and |
|
9 brought use URIs and gopher+ has failed. |
|
10 |
|
11 The goal of this repository is to gather and document recommendations |
|
12 for how to use gopher today so errors of the past are not redone. |
|
13 |
|
14 We do not plan to write a new RFC, since the recommendations are rather |
|
15 small and do not require a big redefinition of the basic gopher |
|
16 protocol. |
