1 # Gopher Protocol
2
3 ## Introduction
4
5 Gopher is a really old protocol. It has much history to preserve. Over
6 time and development the usage changed from the original RFC 1436 (see
7 rfc1436.txt) to usage now (2018). We now use UTF-8, we have other media
8 format, file type detection is more advanced, the web has grown and
9 brought use URIs and gopher+ has failed.
10
11 The goal of this repository is to gather and document recommendations
12 for how to use gopher today so errors of the past are not redone.
13
14 We do not plan to write a new RFC, since the recommendations are rather
15 small and do not require a big redefinition of the basic gopher
16 protocol.
