Gopher Protocol
---------------------------
From wikipedia:
"The Gopher protocol is a communications protocol designed for distributing, searching, and retrieving documents in Internet Protocol networks. The design of the Gopher protocol and user interface is menu-driven."
Gopher is, for most builds of Bombadillo, the default protocol that is used if no url scheme is provided and was the original protocol Bombadillo was built to support.
-- Bombadillo Gopher Support --
- Support for all item types, including telnet
- Search/query support
-- Gopher URL Structure --
A gopher URL has a slightly unique structure:
gopher://[host][:port]/[gopher-item-type][resource-path]
Note that the gophertype is not required for a server to return content, but is required for a client (like Bombadillo) to interpret it properly. The port is optional; Bombadillo will use port 70 if no other port is supplies.
