       Subject: [gopher] luakit web-browser and gopher
       
       I found  that recently I've been  using the luakit web-browser  a lot,
       it's one  of those "lightweight"  keyboard driven types  but unusually
       not totally mouse hostile. Despite having never messed with lua before
       I started  to think  it might be  nice if it  could do  something with
       gopher links - a sort of overbite for luakit...
       
       Sometime later and I've got this far
       
       --------------------
       -- Gopher handler --
       --------------------
       
       webview.init_funcs.gopher_hook = function (view, w)
         view:add_signal("navigation-request", function (v, uri)
           local uri = w.view.hovered_uri
             if string.match(string.lower(uri), "gopher.floodgap.com") thn
             else
             if string.match(string.lower(uri), "gopher:") then
               local gopher = "http://gopher.floodgap.com/gopher/gw?a=" .. uri
               uri = (string.format(gopher))
               w:navigate(string.format(gopher))
               return false
            end
            end
        end)
       end
       
       
       With the above  code in my userconf.lua direct gopher  links will open
       using the floodgap proxy providing I open the link in the same tab (it
       all goes a bit odd if one tries to  open a gopher link in a new tab or
       window). This works well enough for me  - but I'm sure a luahead could
       do much better.
       
       NB: Cameron Kaiser,  sorry about  all the malformed  requests floodgap
       was getting the other week when I was working on this.
