       Okay, this is really cool.  I need to look at gopher more closely now.
       ---Reply #48
       I had a look at the protocol and have a question.  How does one go about setting up a .onion mirror?  Since the server doesn't know what hostname has used to access it, how does it know what host to use in links?
       ---Reply #49
       Do you just host a mirror on a different port and point the .onion at that?
       ---Reply #50
       Aargh.  I can't fix my typos.  I'll have to pay closer attention in the future

       Hey, I think the bitreich.org gophers have a lot of instruction and tooling for this, such as someodd's burrow helper program. 1/2
       ---Reply #52
       2/2 in terms of tor / onion, you host a gopher on localhost on your server, and there is a config file that tells tor to make that port accessible over onion. You have to provide the cryptographic key (there are instructions)

       Oh I see, I read 48 a little further. I guess according to the RFC you would need to put the onion address in the server position. Normally gopher servers fill that in for you, I guess there's a flag to set somewhere.

       Yeah, my question was about how the server knows which hostname to use in the links, since there's nothing in the rrquest to tell it which was used.
       ---Reply #59
       The only way I can see to do it is to have the .onion version listening on a different port.

       regarding the onion thing, I phlogged about doing gopher reverse proxy magic with xinetd

       Both of those links seem to be broken.  :(  Also, how did you add a link?

       ---Reply #71
       yes I have a bug with my gopher reverse proxy. I am going to update it and the phorum software
       ---Reply #72
       post links by just making a gopher URI the message
