The FORG
Hello, Things have been kinda quiet here recently, but I wanted to drop a note that I just put the FORG version 0.2 out there. It's at http://opop.nols.com/proggie/forg-0.2.tar.gz, with the information page at http://opop.nols.com/forg.shtml. As far as protocol is concerned, there really isn't much left to do with the program other than to make sure it works correctly in all situations. The code that handles index servers could be better, (although it works fine for floodgap's search, since that's what I was testing it with) and I could probably test it against more ASK blocks. Also, the program sometimes gets confused when dealing with faked HTTP requests, (like when the selector is "GET /" and the host/port is pointing to somehost.com:80) interpreting them as a file it does'nt know instead of as HTML. But that's not really a protocol issue... At any rate, grab a copy if you're interested, I think that there are still some kinks under windows that I need to work out, but I don't have steady access to a windows machine that I can install the necessary software on to test it. I'd love to hear about problems or suggestions for the program. Recently I built in a rudimentary bookmark editor (that isn't 100% functional yet) and also some code to use the Python Imaging Library if it's required so external programs aren't needed to deal with images. What's the status on other gopher related projects? Where is gnopher? What about bucktooth? The veronica code? Where can I get a copy anyway?(Continue reading)
