Ahh, you should know better than to spit upon Gopher :-) Gopher software distribution for UNIX Copyright (C) 1991-2000 University of Minnesota Copyright (C) 2000-2002 John Goerzen and the gopher developers Seriously, you will likely find people that make a serious argument that Gopher was, and even is, an adequate alternative for HTTP (for at least some purposes). And, I wouldn't be devoting my time to maintaining Gopher and PyGopherd if I didn't believe that was, at least sometimes, the case. -- John
