Hope this is going to calm down a little bit the will of the reporter to remove the UI for Gopher proxy settings. > > https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=158888 > > (implement better handling for gopher on non default ports) > > Voted. I'm not even sure why they did this that way. I recently found this: gopher://sipb.mit.edu/1B:Internet%20whois%20servers The result with Mozilla derivatives is bad :( > > https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=273459 > > (most gopher-*.gif images are unused) > > Voted. This looks like a good solution to implement. I had a look to these gifs (C:\Program Files\mozilla.org\SeaMonkey\res\html under my Windows Millennium). They're pretty nice.

Probably. I had hesitated a lot, but when I saw that Lynx was doing this guess quite efficiently, I voted: how many websites begin with http://gopher... ? But anyway, this probably is not so important and indeed some newbies could whine if the bug was corrected. > > https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=326034 > > (Gopher module shouldn't try to interpret text into URLs) > > This is mine!

I was expecting a comment like "oh, why do you say that? Your English is better than perfect ". :-p > (what is it, anyway?). Hmmm. Do you remember that you have a file in a foreign language you'll put on floodgap in one of your next lives? ;) > Thanks very much for posting these. I've got the relevant ones on my > cc list now. I think that given the opposition the bug will remain open for quite a while. Since the assignee is also the reporter, I don't think he will easily accept a wontfix, but anyway, now he's under surveillance :) Thread start (DIR) [gopher] Mozilla bugs about Gopher, and a dangerous one Thread start (DIR) [gopher] Mozilla bugs about Gopher, and a dangerous one (DIR) Followup: [gopher] Re: Mozilla bugs about Gopher, and a dangerous one (DIR) Followup: [gopher] Re: Mozilla bugs about Gopher, and a dangerous one (DIR) Followup: [gopher] Re: Mozilla bugs about Gopher, and a dangerous one (DIR) Followup: [gopher] Re: Mozilla bugs about Gopher, and a dangerous one
