	GoFish gopher to http gateway.
		The Gopher interface is designed to resemble a file system since a file system is a good model for organizing documents and services; the user sees what amounts to one big networked information system containing primarily document items, directory items, and search items (the latter allowing searches for documents across subsets of the information base).
		The internet Gopher Model A detailed BNF rendering of the internet Gopher syntax is available in the appendix...but a close reading of the appendix may not be necessary to understand the internet Gopher protocol.
		In essence, the Gopher protocol consists of a client connecting to a server and sending the server a selector (a line of text, which may be empty) via a TCP connection.

		The Gopher+ protocol is a set of upward-compatible extensions to the base Gopher protocol and is described in [Gopher+].
		The "?" is used in the Gopher+ string to be consistent with Gopher+ protocol's use of this symbol.

	Gopher protocol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The original Gopher system was released in late spring of 1991 by Mark McCahill, Farhad Anklesaria, Paul Lindner, Dan Torrey, and Bob Alberti of the University of Minnesota.
		As of 2006, there are still a few Gopher servers present on the net, in organizations such as the US government; a few are also being maintained by enthusiasts of the protocol, where almost all growth is occurring.
		The Gopher protocol is documented in RFC 1436.

		Gopher was developed in the Microcomputer, Workstation, and Networks Center on the Twin Cities campus of the University of Minnesota in late 1990 and early 1991.
		Gopher emerged in the context of a broader debate in leading American and European universities over the construction of campus wide information systems.
		Gopher had several advantages over other client-server software in the early 1990s because it was easy to set up and required little maintenance.

	The Internet Gopher
		Gopher is a protocol system, which in advance of the World Wide Web, allowed server based text files to be hierarchically organised and easily viewed by end users who accessed the server using Gopher applications on remote computers.
		As for the naming of the system, the University of Minnesota sports teams were called the ‘Golden Gophers’ and the sports mascot was thus a large gopher, it has been said that the protocol was named in honour of the mascot, and also as in an assistant who's sent to ‘go for’ things.

	The TCP/IP Guide - Gopher Protocol (Gopher)
		Today, Gopher is still around, but is a niche protocol used only by a relatively small group of enthusiasts and a handful of organizations that have a past history of using it.
		Gopher clients access servers to retrieve directory listings of available resources, which are presented to the user as a menu from which an item may be selected for retrieval.
		Gopher’s chief advantage is simplicity and ease of use, but it lacks flexibility in presentation and the ability to effectively present graphics and multimedia.

	The TCP/IP Guide - Gopher Protocol (Gopher)
		The Gopher Protocol was developed at the University of Minnesota, whose sports teams are called the “Golden Gophers” (Minnesota is known as the “Gopher State”).
		The Gopher Protocol was developed in the late 1980s to provide a mechanism for organizing documents for easy access by students and faculty at the university.
		Gopher is designed on the basis of a small number of core principles, and uses a very straight-forward mechanism for passing information between client and server devices.

		A Gopher Interface to Relational Databases Paul Lindner April 18, 1994 At the University of Minnesota we've developed software that allows a Gopher user to access the data in an SQL database.
		The Gopher protocol has been described as "brutally simple." It is based on a web/ tree metaphor of files and directories.
		Gopher+ adds the following features to the base gopher protocol: · Forms input · Multiple alternate document representations (VIEWS) · Metainformation about an object (administrator, size, etc..) The SQL Gateway uses the Gopher+ protocol for some of it's features: optional tab-separated documents and solici- tation of searches via a form.
