I'm looking for a mapping from gopher paths to URL's and in particular
wonder how xMosaic, and in general WWW handles it, at first I thought
it could be done by simplistically going
gopher://<site>:<port>/<path>
but although this works to retrieve files and menus, it fails for the
type 7 query, this takes two forms - either with or without a search
term.
I believe it was proposed that with a search term it should read
gopher://<site>:<port>/<path>?<searchterm>
but then what does a term without a query look like.
gopher://<site>:<port>/<path>
wont work because there is no way for a client to know that it needs to
prompt the user for a search term, or does WWW always obtain a type from
somewhere other than the URL?
