I know UMN gopherd lets you run shell scripts, kind of like CGI, but when I played with it, it was quite limited. The other way I've seen is by modifying the source of the server. So I'm thinking that a great solution would be gopher support for Servlets (Servlets are most commonly used for HTTP, but implementations can support other protocols as well). Does anyone here know of any implementations that support gopher? I'm thinking it would be a fun project... if only I had time. This ties in to writing WAP apps using Gopher, of course. -- emanuel at heatdeath organisation gopher.heatdeath.org
