Anyways... I noticed that OverBiteFF can load images just fine from an HTML document over the gopher protocol. However I also noticed that you must use "absolute URLs" for it to work, at least in OverbiteFF. Now my question here is, I also attempted to load a JavaScript file over the gopher protocol in a proper script tag. However, overbiteFF just hangs as it's tries to load the resource. I assume that this is a weird Firefox quirk, but I'd like to know if anybody found a work around for loading JavaScript over gopher? If anybody's curious what I'm up to. I am just a tad curious if gopher could be used to host a fully functional HTML site, with modern CSS and JavaScript. Another bottleneck would be form submission, but I have a secret weapon for that. I think it would be *kewl* if we could create a working Gopher-HTTP proxy, basically the other way around to a common HTTP-Gopher proxy. So basically displaying full fledged HTTP pages in GopherSpace. -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail.
