--Sig_/RtLCy6_pwQYLJgwugAgOCVH Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi gophers; I believe I've discovered an undocumented feature of UMN gopherd! The feature is: A request ending with 0x09 0x2B (tab plus) will be treated as a Gopher0 request, not a Gopher+ request. I believe the intent is to indicate Gopher+ support in URLs without breaking Gopher0 clients; e.g. <gopher://example.com/0/selector%09%2B>. It causes no overlap because a Gopher+ request will have a mime-type of non-zero length after the plus-sign. Did anyone know of this feature? Do any clients / any other servers implement it? --Sig_/RtLCy6_pwQYLJgwugAgOCVH Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAEBCgAdFiEECRScMMLqbawFEVXLbbTQGyXkVXUFAmXJFxYACgkQbbTQGyXk VXWB+Qf/cqXUTX/ByXrIY3Pt56rRaRnOTEppDL6Aspo9EqNkR0a1UkkQOzSQepeB gSON7E817QVq3jJVKIktNSI7lYiNOjMr+lwQCJcW3OZbyYm6TdfQP0ZDUFcqHh8j 9adQprzcBzYR0iMYY1jjerhViT+uf2YpZk88SMLpEbOPcYsy5bw4dnPH1+p31tAG Ufj1+XPuWoIqSPHSxksHPLV2nPkcckgtjAPDXU+LtOz75r+c+RrOmLCso1egCwIE 5WtfPEfZetC13eB9wGbKi9O5SzaWNyzb1R5GIjIqQwicImxT6EAKj8RCZWIiwUVg doHwC2dpYi2XdS4TaLOBgEokzRRQ4w== =Tof0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/RtLCy6_pwQYLJgwugAgOCVH--
