Editing Gopher (protocol) (section)

===Gopher+===
Gopher+ is a forward compatible enhancement to the Gopher protocol. Gopher+ works by sending [[metadata]] between the client and the server. The enhancement was never widely adopted by Gopher servers.<ref>{{cite newsgroup |last1=Mešnjak |first1=Matjaž |date=16 February 2009 |title=Re: New Gopher server and client |url=http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.network.gopher.general/2571 |newsgroup=gmane.network.gopher.general |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150310110257/http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.network.gopher.general/2571 |archive-date=10 March 2015 |access-date=3 February 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite newsgroup|title=Re: Server Contact Information|url=http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.network.gopher.general/1814 |date=14 January 2008 |newsgroup=gmane.network.gopher.general |author1=JumpJet Mailbox |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150310110252/http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.network.gopher.general/1814|archive-date=10 March 2015|access-date=3 February 2012}}</ref>{{Ref RFC|4266}}
The client sends a tab followed by a +. A Gopher+ server will respond with a status line followed by the content the client requested. An item is marked as supporting Gopher+ in the Gopher directory listing by a tab + after the port (this is the case of some of the items in the example above).

Other features of Gopher+ include:

* Item attributes, which can include the items
** Administrator
** Last date of modification
** Different views of the file, like [[PostScript]] or plain text, or different languages
** Abstract, or description of the item
* Interactive queries
