This prompted me to refresh my memory of our gopher support. It looks like it works relatively well apart from item type "7". This should be a form which allows one to enter keywords which are passed like a get query to the relevant selector. However, in edbrowse these are rendered as hyperlinks like all other item types (with the exception of "3" and "i"). I had a brief go at fixing this but ran into a couple of issues: - When entering keywords in the newly rendered form they vanished after a rerender event. - The form wouldn't submit as, apparently, edbrowse only supports form submission via http and https. In addition, I still need to check how edbrowse would submit the form as I think the rules may be a bit different, i.e. I think there shouldn't be a field name in the query (search) string. As an example of where this functionality is needed: gopher://gopher.floodgap.com/1/v2 The "Search Veronica-2" link is actually supposed to either render as a form to submit the search or, in some clients, an item which then brings up a form which you can then use to submit the query (but I think the former option of just rendering the form may well be a nicer UI). I'm not sure how difficult making this work will prove to be but am happy to help where I can. Cheers, Adam.
