No, I don't believe so. I think Gopher predated SSL. I also think that the current Gopher clients are not SSL-aware for Gopher protocol exchanges. > > Maybe 343 could be used for it: > > HTTP = Gopher + 10 > HTTPS = Gopher + 100 > > Sincerely, > > Christoph > > >

I'm not opposed to this although I have not fully investigated the technical requirements. -- -- ------------------------------------ personal: http://www.cameronkaiser.com/ -- Cameron Kaiser * Floodgap Systems * www.floodgap.com * ckaiser@... -- Apparently I am not very good at being tricky. -- John Hughes --------------

Re: Seven Fun Sites
Note how hard he had to look to find interesting Gopher sites. That was the whole point of the "Gopher Jewels" link repository, and why it was created in the early 90's... http://www.sinica.edu.tw/mirror/econwpa.wustl.edu/EconFAQ/node228.html http://www.internettourbus.com/arch/1995/TB080195.TXT Currently there is NO Gopher Jewels linklist anywhere on Gopher!!! Reviewers and newbies (not to mention our own busy selves) need such a list, in order to take full advantage of the resources Gopher still has to offer. --- On Wed, 12/3/08, David Meyer <papa@...> wrote: From: David Meyer <papa@...> Subject: [gopher] Seven Fun Sites To: gopher@...

Any progress with the GopherVR re-compile?
There was some interest last summer in recompiling the old GopherVR source code. http://lists.complete.org/gopher-WrTMxSeDnuhg9hUCZPvPmw <at> public.gmane.org/2008/06/msg00089.html Any progress? A Windows version would be fantastic!!!

Veronica Search
Hiya gopher folks, I was just thinking about the good old Veronica Search. Back when gopher was all there was, i seem to have seen more than one server doing searches, while nowadays, floodgap seems to be the only one around. Now i was wondering, if it would be a good pastime to think about setting up another veronica search, maybe even as some sort of distributed service. Any ideas? Greetings, Florian -- -- This is my signature...

Embedded gopher servers?
Hello guys, did someone ever come across something like an embedded gopher server? Ya know, as many microcontrollers nowadays can support a web server, why shouldn't the same be possible with a gopher server. As i take it, it should take even less computing power to run a gopher server on a tiny micro. Anyone seen something like this? Hints on lightwheight gopher servers are also welcome, preferably written in C. Greetings, Florian -- -- This is my signature...

I think there is room for other Veronicas. -- -- ------------------------------------ personal: http://www.cameronkaiser.com/ -- Cameron Kaiser * Floodgap Systems * www.floodgap.com * ckaiser@... -- To describe bitter medicine will not improve its flavor. -- Charlie Chan ---

Firefox 2 and OverbiteFF
Mozilla has announced that 2.0.0.19 will be the final version of Firefox 2. Because continuing to support FF2 in Overbite requires maintaining separate code for Mozilla 1.8, the next build release of Overbite will be the final one for Firefox 2 (although I might still release emergency security updates for an undetermined period afterwards if I discover any large holes left). -- -- ------------------------------------ personal: http://www.cameronkaiser.com/ -- Cameron Kaiser * Floodgap Systems * www.floodgap.com * ckaiser@... -- Po-Ching Lives! ------------------------------------------------------------
