I can, at least, get to > gopherpedia on demand from my bbs. Huh? Gopherpedia hasn't worked for me for most of this year. I thought it was dead and burried. But no, I just tried it in Lynx instead of UMN Gopher and it loads fine! Something must have changed that broke it in UMN Gopher but not in Lynx. Very strange. When I use my bookmark (for the homepage, or my direct search bookmark, or also the script I used which to quick-launch it from a shortcut) I get a "Nothing Available" error. Same with this command: gopher gopher://gopherpedia.com/ This never did work for some reason, now returning "Gopher Transmission Error": gopher gopherpedia.com If I try to telnet into it the connection is immediately closed: telnet gopherpedia.com 70 Trying 178.128.128.21... Connected to gopherpedia.com. Escape character is '^]'. Connection closed by foreign host. Same if I use nc and send a leading '/' selector like the first UMN gopher command (that used to work): echo / | nc gopherpedia.com 70 [nothing] Same if I try to fetch a document: echo about | nc gopherpedia.com 70 [nothing] This is really frustrating. From that I would be, and was, quite satisfied that it's dead, but in Lynx (and I see some other Gopher clients) it works. Do other Gopher clients not work the way it's described in section 2 of RFC1436? Oh wait, I just tried on a VPS and nc works there: $ echo / | nc gopherpedia.com 70 i _ _ _ _ null (FALSE) 0 i | | | (_) | | null (FALSE) 0 i __ _ ___ _ __ | |__ ___ _ __ _ __ ___ __| |_ __ _| | null (FALSE) 0 i / _` |/ _ \| '_ \| '_ \ / _ \ '__| '_ \ / _ \/ _` | |/ _` | | null (FALSE) 0 i | (_| | (_) | |_) | | | | __/ | | |_) | __/ (_| | | (_| |_| null (FALSE) 0 i \__, |\___/| .__/|_| |_|\___|_| | .__/ \___|\__,_|_|\__,_(_) null (FALSE) 0 i __/ | | | | | null (FALSE) 0 i |___/ |_| |_| null (FALSE) 0 [...] But I can use other clients from my own internet connection, just not UMN Gopher or those general-purpose tools (which still work fine with other Gopher servers). Perhaps the Gopherpedia server just has some insanely short time-out before automatically closing the connection? So delays in software plus internet connection delays combine to decide whether the request gets through before the connection gets the chop? Also in the Dillo Gopher plug-in the homepage works but none of the text documents load. No time to send the "/" selector string over my internet connection? Akfgb (from akfnetz) loads pages with short selector request strings, but not long ones, and sometimes short ones fail too, so I think that's it. No time for bug reports now though, or indeed finding out whether there's an email address to send them to... -- __ __ #_ < |\| |< _#
