Protoze se podarilo navazat spojeni s gopherem na VSCHT a s novym
gopherem na VSB, prinasime jejich mapy do 2. urovne. V tomto tydnu probehl
omicronovsky kurz D a v ramci praktickych cviceni ucastnici vyresili zarijove
otazky THE INTERNET HUNT. Uvadime reseni, ktere bylo zaslano R. Gatesovi
jako reseni skupinove. V ramci kurzu byla prednesena mimo jine i
problematika GopherMail. Protoze tato problematika ma velky vyznam, predevsim
pro uzivatele, kteri nemaji uplnou internetovskou konektivitu (Eunet, Earn
a pod.), prinasime vytah ze studejniho materialu.

a great deal of traffic, but would not appear below because none
of the traffic used the backbone service.

3.GOPHERMAIL
---------------------------------------------------------------------
GopherMail je specializovany gophersky klient, ktery vytvari
rozhrani s uzivatelem vyhradne na zaklade e-posty. Uzivatel od neho
dostava v e-dopisech gopherska menu se smerovacimi udaji gopherskeho
protokolu nebo soubory. V prijatem menu oznacuje radky menu, ktere si
preje ziskat a takto upraveny dopis posila klientovi. Zname dva
pracujici klienty tohoto typu:
gopher@dsv.su.se
gopher@calvin.edu.
Jak pozorny ctenar zjisti z mapy gopheru na VSCHT, je na tomto
serveru rovnez klient tohoto druhu. Zda je plne funkcni, nepodarilo se
nam dopusud zjistit.
GopherMail ma obrovsky vyznam pro internetovske uzivatele, kteri maji
pristup do Internetu pouze na urovni e-posty. Protoze na gopherech jsou dnes
realizovany prechody na radu jinych internetovskych sluzeb (Archie,
FTP, NetNews, Wais a pod.), jsou temto uzivatelum zpristupneny dalsi
atraktivni sluzby. Ani pro uzivatele s plnou internetovskou konektivitou
neni GopherMail bez pritazlivosti.
Praci lze zacit zaslanim prazdneho dopisu s prazdnym radkem
"Subject:" treba prvemu klientovi. Odpovi hlavnim menu gopherskeho serveru
"dsv.su.se". V nem muzeme oznacit znakem X (x) pocatky pozadovanych radku,
napr. radku popisujiciho GopherMail. Postupnym opakovanim techto
operaci lze dojit k pozadovanym informacim, ktere poskytuji gopherske
servery. Cinnost lze zefektivnit tim, ze se v dopise ponechaji pouze
smerovaci udaje pro radek menu, ktery chceme zaktivizovat. Hlavni menu
gopherskych serveru muzeme pozadovat prazdnym dopisem a uvedenim adresy
serveru v radku "Subject:" (eventualne i portu oddeleneho od adresy znakem
"mezera", port 70 je implicitni). Podobne v tomto radku uvadime odpovedi
na pozadovane dotazy (indexy, klicova slova) pri aktivizaci menu typu
2 nebo 7. Pri aktivizaci menu typy 9 (binarni soubor) nebo "s" (zvukovy
soubor) klient zasle soubor uu-zakodovany. Odpovedi klienta obsahuji
implicitne radky
Split=27K....
Menu=100K.....
Tyto radky definuji, jak klient bude clenit odpoved na dopis z hlediska
maximalni delky prenaseneho souboru v Kb nebo maximalniho poctu radek
prenaseneho menu. Prepsanim muzeme menit tyto limity. Uvedenim znaku "0"
mechanizmus Split nebo Menu nebo oba dva vypiname.
Priklad 1: Zakladni menu serveru "pub.vse.cz"
(Prazdny dopis na adresu "gopher@dsv.su.se" s radkem
Subject:pub.vse.cz)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
.....
Mail this file back to gopher with an X before the menu items that you want.
If you don't mark any items, gopher will send all of them.
1. Public domain software/
2. News/
3. Some documents/
4. FTP Links/
.....
You may edit the following two numbers to set the maximum sizes after which
GopherMail should send output as multiple email messages:
Split=27K bytes/message <- For text, bin, HQX messages (0 = No split)
Menu=100 items/message <- For menus and query responses (0 = No split)
