gopher-proxy is a tiny wai application running on top of warp. It acts as a gopher-over-http proxy for a specific server, e. g. to http-ify a gopher space.
Example usage:
gopher-proxy --host foo.org --http-port 8080
In this particular example, gopher-proxy would proxy the foo.org gopher server and bind its http service on 127.0.0.1:8080 (to be proxied to by another web server like nginx).
These are all optional flags which allow to change default behavior:
--port: The port of the gopher server, defaults to70--css-path: Use some specific css file instead of the default one.--css-url: The http path of the css file, defaults to/gopher-proxy.css(should be changed, if your gopher server has a file with the same name--base-url: The path of the directory which will appear as root directory of gopher-proxy to the user, defaults to/. Should be changed if you configured your proxying web server to expose gopher-proxy as, say/gopher-space/.--listen-public: If this flag is set, gopher-proxy will accept connections on its public IP address(es).--default-mime-type: Mime type to use if gopher-proxy can't guess it, defaults to "application/octet-stream"--timeout: connection timeout in milliseconds, defaults to 10 seconds.--server-name: The server name of the server to proxy, defaults to the host name. This value is used to detect wether a menu item is pointing to another gopher server than the proxied one. This is particularly useful, if you use e. g.127.0.0.1instead of the public host name.--title: Sets the first part of the HTML title-tag, defaults togopher-proxy.
- Your gopher server must send UTF-8-encoded gopher responses
- gopher-proxy might misinterpret certain content, because of the context-sensitive nature of gopher
- gopher-proxy does not support Gopher+
