# gopher-proxy
gopher-proxy is a tiny [wai](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/wai) application running on top of [warp](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/warp). It acts as a gopher-over-http proxy for a specific server, e. g. to http-ify a gopher space.
## Usage
Example usage:
gopher-proxy --host foo.org --http-port 8080
In this particular example, gopher-proxy would proxy the foo.org gopher server and bind its http service on `127.0.0.1:8080` (to be proxied to by another web server like `nginx`).
There are these additional flags which allow tweaking of exact behavior as well:
option | meaning
----------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
`--port` | The port of the gopher server, defaults to `70`
`--css-url` | Use some specific css file instead of the default one.
`--css-url` | The http path of the css file, defaults to `/gopher-proxy.css` (should be changed, if your gopher server has a file with the same name
`--base-url` | The path of the directory which will appear as root directory of gopher-proxy to the user, defaults to `/`. Should be changed if you configured your proxying web server to expose gopher-proxy as, say `/gopher-space/`.
`--listen-public` | If this flag is set, gopher-proxy will accept connections on its public IP address(es).
`--default-mime-type` | Mime type to use if spacecookie can't guess it, defaults to "application/octet-stream"
`--timeout` | Timeout when connecting in milliseconds, defaults to 10 seconds.
## Things to keep in mind
* Your gopher server must send UTF-8-encoded gopher menus
* gopher-proxy might misinterpret certain content, because of the context-sensitive nature of gopher
* gopher-proxy does not support Gopher+
