3 Bitreich now has a gopher validator/lint tool. |
|
|
|
4 |
|
|
|
5 It checks raw Gopher directory data according to the official RFC1436 |
|
|
|
6 specification. |
|
|
|
7 |
|
|
|
8 This lint-like tool might also open further discussion for improving Gopher for |
|
|
|
9 the current times, clarify interpretations of the official spec or define them |
|
|
|
10 more strictly. A few topics could be: |
|
|
|
11 |
|
|
|
12 * Change: UTF-8 support (instead of Latin-1). |
|
|
|
13 * Change: remove ".\r\n" behaviour for types like textfiles and treat it at the |
|
|
|
14 protocol level as binary. |
|
|
|
15 * Clarify/define: define a more clear difference of glyphs vs codepoints vs |
|
|
|
16 bytes. |
|
|
|
