It is an alternative +# to the web, and the implementation both server and client side is so simple +# that the Redis server has just 100 lines of code in order to implement this +# support. +# +# What do you do with Gopher nowadays? Well Gopher never *really* died, and +# lately there is a movement in order for the Gopher more hierarchical content +# composed of just plain text documents to be resurrected. Some want a simpler +# internet, others believe that the mainstream internet became too much +# controlled, and it's cool to create an alternative space for people that +# want a bit of fresh air. +# +# Anyway for the 10nth birthday of the Redis, we gave it the Gopher protocol +# as a gift. +# +# --- HOW IT WORKS? --- +# +# The Redis Gopher support uses the inline protocol of Redis, and specifically +# two kind of inline requests that were anyway illegal: an empty request +# or any request that starts with "/" (there are no Redis commands starting +# with such a slash).
