[gopher] Spidering the gopherspace

[Mateusz Viste]

Hi Bob,

Thanks for the feedback!

Actually, it's not as simple as that - I do request the full selectors 
all right (eg. /gopher), but I send an \n terminator instead of \r\n. 
This I will fix asap.

Your server, on the other hand, seems to fail quite ungracefully on such 
condition, apparently trying to trim something that isn't there (hence 
ending up one letter short).

I can provide you with tcpdump PCAP dumps demonstrating the problem 
offlist if needed.

cheers,
Mateusz
