| ** Gopher protocol ** |
| ourdude.gif |
| Am I the only one left who enjoys the simplicity and order of the |
| gopher protocol? Does anyone else still use it? |

| It's cool, but there is nothing new to read over Gopher. Someone |
| should make a Gopher mirror of /g/. |

| Too bad Gopher is on the technical level of HTTP 0.9. It would be a |
| real improvement if you could add a simple size response header and |
| have it running on a persistent connection. |

| I've seen some neat threads where /g/ makes a web page, how about a |
| Gopherhole? |
|
|
| gopher://khzae.net/1/ftp/g |
|
|
| (http://khzae.net/1/ftp/g works too if you don't have a Gopher client/ |
| plugin) |

| User input is also a little lacking compared to HTTP. In Gopher0 (non- |
| Gopher+) you really only have search queries (compare to single-line |
| text input and GET parameters in HTTP). |
|
|
| Gopher+ began adding metadata about items (response headers) and forms |
| (like HTML forms) but the UMN client and server are the only ones that |
| fully support it, and they are outdated in other regards compared to |
| "modern" Gopher servers and clients like Lynx or plugins like |
| Overbite. |

| What are the advantages of gopher over HTTP/HTTPS? |

| Downloading doesn't work in overbite, because that will be for the |
| 'next' release. (Which, will never happen by the way. But you can |
| browse gopherholes and I am happy enough with that for now) |
|

| Gopher is simpler. You have plain text menus that navigate just like |
| browsing a file directory. You don't have cookies, Flash, HTML/CSS/ |
| Javascript, web apps, tracking, ads, etc. |
|
|
| Technically you can serve those things over Gopher if you have a |
| client that can understand them (like a web browser) so the advantage |
| is less in the protocol and more in the idea. Gopher is content with |
| no frills. |
|

| I think if Gopher had very basic styling and a templating system for |
| fetching content from a URL whenever acted on, it could have went |
| somewhere. |
| Templating needs no client scripting, just a dynamic form essentially, |
| but for displaying data instead. (in fact, pretty much like HTML5 |
| templating) |
| Speaking about very simple formatting though, not full on page |
| styling. (at best, viewport background, current field background and |
| foreground) |
|
|
| It could have easily still existed on text delivery systems that are |
| frequently used today, but not use stupidly over complicated HTML, CSS |
| and JS because default HTML layouts fucking suck. |

| I was thinking recently how cool it would be to have a text based |
| internet, a retronet if you will, to be accessed using a terminal. |
| Like every thing would be stripped down, like in those 90s movies |
| where a kid logs in to some corporate site using a computer at the |
| mall. Could be comfy and a good way to consume text without |
| distractions. Is Gopher anything like that? |
