Most of the servers can do, already, but it requires a little
refactoring to work nicely without any hacking. I quickly looked at my
code this morning and realized that I don't even have to add code, just
remove some old stuff and it'll start working.
Now I'll be the first to admit that there's not point in POSTing to
gopher CGI - I'm perfectly happy with type 7 queries being the only
input method.
