gopher-proxy allows to proxy gopher over HTTP, which is mainly useful for HTTP-ifying a specific gopher space. A simple invocation looks like this: In this particular example gopher-proxy does the following things: Takes HTTP requests on 127.0.0.1:8080 (to be used by a proxying web server, like nginx), converts those to gopher requests to example.org and returns the gopher responses as HTTP responses Links menu items pointing to external servers to gopher:// URLs (this ensures that only one gopher server is proxied) and recognizes URL links which are converted to normal HTML links Tries to guess the correct mime-type for every gopher-served file (as it is not included in the response) and wraps text files in a HTML container. And generally works hard to offer the best HTTP equivalent of a given gopher space :) To learn about the other parameters for tweaking the behavior of gopher-proxy see the readme.
