Hi,
recently I realized that lynx' gopher client implementation does not cover the
(non-RFC) URL scheme[1,2]. This scheme is supported by Overbite Addon for
Firefox for instance and gives a smoother experience when surfing from gopher
oceans into http seas. You can test it using this[3] address. With lynx you'll
see an information page generated by the gopher server once the client does not
handle the URL scheme properly, with Overbite there is a seamless transition.
Would you mind to extend lynx' gopher client?
Regards,
kaltheat
