There is still a bug in Mozilla 0.9.1's Gopher support; it ignores the
port number in the URL and will only connect on port 70. I'm currently
trying to code a Gopher server, but I can't test it under Mozilla because
I'm running on port 7070.
Does anyone know if this is fixed in 0.9.2?

On an unrelated note, do any browsers support Gopher+ ? I imagine most
people viewing Gopher servers these days will be using a browser rather
than a real Gopher client. I probably won't bother supporting Gopher+ in
my server if nobody will see it.
