I tried the same request but changed the "?" and "&" to their hexadecimal equivalents. The request still failed. I also tried some other combinations that also failed. For some reason gophermail (or at least the CZ gophermail server) returns "The requested URL xxxx was not found on this server" message for Perl scripts. However, this is not surprising. Gopher and the WWW protocols were first published about the same time (1991). As we all know, the WWW has far surpassed it beginnings and gopher has all but disappeared. Gophermail never was intended to retrieve web pages or files located on web sites (or ftp sites) but to access gopher sites. Since the secondary use of gophermail (web and ftp sites) is now the primary use, I'm not surprised that things don't always work. -- Gerry Boyd ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ACCMAIL Info (automatically generated) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To UNSUBscribe: Send UNSUBSCRIBE ACCMAIL to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To get the ACCMAIL FAQ: Send e-mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" and enter only this line in the BODY of the note: send usenet/news.answers/internet-services/access-via-email ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
