Hey Benny!

Almost there but I still need to test av streaming to a console based mplayer. My tentitive plan is to put a gopher server on a 5GHz wireless network and see where that goes. As is the console based mplayer using amdgpu turned out to be a real bonus methinks.

Any particular gopher server I should be looking at? As of this writing I have it narrowed down to geomyidae, gophernicus and motsognir but am definetly open to suggestions.

Life is good,
Maurice

I specially like gophernicus myself. Written in C, it supports CGI, virtual hosts, and the developer is responsive.

I played with geomyidae back in the day and I don't remember anything particularly bad about it.

No experience with motsognir.

Hey Richard!

I specially like gophernicus myself. Written in C, it supports
CGI, virtual hosts, and the developer is responsive.

I noticed all that and it is definetly on the short list here.

Cut n' pasting from the geomyidae README yields this interesting tidbit;

Features:
* gopher menus (see index.gph for an example)
* dir listings (if no index.gph was found)
* CGI support (.cgi files are executed)
* search support in CGI files
* logging (-l option) and loglevels (-v option)

Also of interest;

$ file geomyidae
geomyidae: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, for GNU/Linux 4.4.0, stripped

which stripped is exactly 36096 bytes.

On the other hand motsognir comes out at 51800 bytes on the same host machine and can also do cgi as well as php for those who might be interested in that particular functionality.

Bottomline for me is I haven't decided yet and still have a few more to look at.

Beats me what the end game is in all this. :::shrugging shoulders:::

Life is good,
Maurice

Hey Richard!

That page is generated by stock gophernicus. It supports automatic index generation too. It is quite handy.

Some of my stuff is CGI and some of my other stuff is statically generated using CGI scripts. My Posts folders are generated
with Perl from the contents of my websites.

Hey Richard!

It is quite handy.

That and it's leaness is what I find appealing. However as a mp4 streamer it really sucks but mp3's seem to fare better with the same client (mplayer using the gopher protocol). So far ftp wins out in this particular usage for such a thing.

My Posts folders are generated with Perl from the contents of my
websites.

My posts are from fidonet aware bash scripts. There is a perl oneliner in the packing routine to generate the binary parts of the pktHeader and msgHeaders. Perl is a better choice for compatibilty reasons (eg a properly standardized localtime immediately comes to mind). Also I believe perl has a way to generate nanoseconds for strftime() purposes which is most definetly a consideration for current and future compatibilty.

Maurice
