Editing Gopher (protocol) (section)

====External links====
Historically, to create a link to a Web server, "GET /" was used as a pseudo-selector to emulate an [[HTTP]] [[GET request]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://math.albany.edu/g/Adm/goph-www.html#1.2 |title=Gopher in the World-Wide Web |access-date=2021-09-29}}</ref> John Goerzen created an addition<ref>{{cite mailing list|url=http://gopher.quux.org/Archives/Mailing%20Lists/gopher/gopher.2002-02 |mailing-list=gopher|title=Gopher: gopher.2002-02 |publisher=Gopher.quux.org |access-date=2015-08-12}}</ref> to the Gopher protocol, commonly referred to as "[[Uniform Resource Locator|URL]] links", that allows links to any protocol that supports URLs. For example, to create a link to http://gopher.quux.org/, the item type is {{code|h}}, the display string is the title of the link, the item selector is "<nowiki>URL:http://gopher.quux.org/</nowiki>", and the domain and port are that of the originating Gopher server (so that clients that do not support URL links will query the server and receive an HTML redirection page).
