mgod
(ver 1.1)
Freeware


mgod is a mini gopher server using Unix inetd.
Written in C; but no dependencies, no fuss.
A CGI-based HTTP gateway is also provided (also in C; calls the 
mgod executable directly, no networking).

Mgod can serve a directory structure, taking extra data from hidden files in
each directory (called .gopher).  It can invoke external scripts or
executables for search string processing.

Gopher+ used to be supported, but support was eventually removed.
Gopher+ requests for the root menu result in a "trampoline" menu that tells
the client to use the plain gopher protocol.

==========

Hulloh,
announcing: mgod 1.0
Major changes since previous versions:
  - Gopher+ support removed (\t$ selector detection remains, behaves
    similarly to the gopher.floodgap.com server)
  - Removed original support for search processors; now only the new
    "dirproc"-style method remains (which I developed for gopherchan).
    This is a lot neater, and allows entire directory trees in your
    gopherspace to be programmatically generated.
  - Added check for access permissions. (Files and directories that
    don't have the readable by all bit set don't get served.)
  - Better file type classification (by a table defined at the head of
    the .c, easily modified/extended)
  - Now it's possible to specify local links by directly writing a
    tab-separated menu line in the control file, with some fields
    missing (like in bucktooth). Gopherglobbing isn't directly supported
    (but I think it should be easy to simulate by a !proc <shell code>
    external processor call)
  - Source code smaller and somewhat neater, striving towards (but I
    suppose not reaching) the "suckless ideal"

In general:
mgod should be a possible choice if you have a linux box and would like
to have your gopher server to be as minimal as the protocol itself
(single C, compiles to a 41K elf with -g on an amd64 system).
Runs from inetd. Some features:
  - dynamic content generation ("moles", but even parts of static menu
    files can be generated)
  - reverse and by mtime sort options (easy phlogging)
  - include mtime in menu descriptions option (easy phlogging)
  - support "include" command in control files
  - URL: link redirection
  - logging (can try to discover originating peer IP address from stdin
    socket)
  - no library dependencies (needs gcc and _GNU_SOURCE)
  - comes with a cgi app (also .c) that makes an easy HTTP gateway
    (with direct support for creating RSS feeds from menus)
