+.Ss Http compatibility |
|
+For maximum flexibility in case someone sends a HTTP request to gopher, |
|
+geomyidae supports a special case of CGI. See this example: |
|
+.Bd -literal -offset indent |
|
+Client request: GET /some/path HTTP/1.1 |
|
+-> /GET exists and is exectuable |
|
+-> /GET "" "" $host $port "" "GET /some/path HTTP/1.1" is called |
|
+.Ed |
|
+ |
|
+This allows for example simple scripts for icecast upload compatibility |
|
+or handling transparent HTTP right next to gopher, getting TLS for free. |
