Gopher protocol library for Golang

This is a standards compliant Gopher library for the Go programming language implementing the RFC 1436 specification. The library includes both client and server handling and examples of each.

Installation

$ go get github.com/prologic/go-gopher/...

Usage

import "github.com/prologic/go-gopher"

Or run the builtin (very simple) server:

$ gopherd

Example

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/prologic/go-gopher"
)

func main() {
	res, _ := gopher.Get("gopher://gopher.floodgap.com/")
	bytes, _ = res.Dir.ToText()
	fmt.Println(string(bytes))
}

Server

package main

import (
	"log"

	"github.com/prologic/go-gopher"
)

func hello(w gopher.ResponseWriter, r *gopher.Request) {
	w.WriteInfo("Hello World!")
}

func main() {
	gopher.HandleFunc("/hello", hello)
	log.Fatal(gopher.ListenAndServe("localhost:70", nil))
}
