Gopher (protocol)
The
Gopher protocol is a
TCP/IP application layer protocol designed for distributing, searching, and retrieving documents over the Internet. The Gopher protocol was strongly oriented towards a menu-document design and presented an alternative to the
World Wide Web in
its early stages, but ultimately
HTTP became the dominant protocol. The Gopher ecosystem is often regarded as the effective predecessor of the World Wide Web.
Gopher+
Gopher+ is a forward compatible enhancement to the
RFC 1436]Gopher protocol. Gopher+ works by sending
metadata between the client and the server. The enhancement was never widely adopted by Gopher servers.
