    Never mind, after compiling and running gopherd, it does not behave the
    way I described. Strange that the code separated '+'-followed-by-string
    from '+'-followed-by-nothing, then. Apologies for having misled.

    Subject: Undocumented UMN gopherd feature


    Hi gophers;
    I believe I've discovered an undocumented feature of UMN gopherd!
    The feature is: A request ending with 0x09 0x2B (tab plus) will be
    treated as a Gopher0 request, not a Gopher+ request. I believe the
    intent is to indicate Gopher+ support in URLs without breaking
    Gopher0 clients; e.g. <gopher://example.com/0/selector%09%2B>. It causes
    no overlap because a Gopher+ request will have a mime-type of non-zero
    length after the plus-sign.

    Did anyone know of this feature? Do any clients / any other servers
    implement it?

    How much of your regular internet-browsing has gopher replaced?

    And putting commercial stuff to the side (shopping and banking) what are
    you missing from the gopherverse in order to move the majority of your internet-activity there?

    Best regards,
    Daniel
