<html><head></head><body>Of course TLS would be optional. It would just add some privacy and better protect password protected sections on a gopher hole to work more securely.<br>
<br>
Passwords can be entered via "query requests", but I'm sure everyone knew that.<br>
<br>
For a gopher client, I was going to make a console-based one, along with a Qt4 WebKit-based one. Qt4 is nicely cross platform, so nobody will be left out.<br>
<br>
I do like the UMN client, but I find it rather limited, and lynx works really well, but it's scrolling system is horrible on gopher menus and text... My console client will address both the limitations and provide a more user friendlier experience overall. Perhaps I'll work on my initial release this evening.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On April 22, 2015 4:35:27 PM MDT, James Mills <prologic@shortcircuit.net.au> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
