Never mind, after compiling and running gopherd, it does not behave the
way I described. Strange that the code separated '+'-followed-by-string
from '+'-followed-by-nothing, then. Apologies for having misled.

Subject: Undocumented UMN gopherd feature


Hi gophers;
I believe I've discovered an undocumented feature of UMN gopherd!
The feature is: A request ending with 0x09 0x2B (tab plus) will be
treated as a Gopher0 request, not a Gopher+ request. I believe the
intent is to indicate Gopher+ support in URLs without breaking
Gopher0 clients; e.g. <gopher://example.com/0/selector%09%2B>. It causes
no overlap because a Gopher+ request will have a mime-type of non-zero
length after the plus-sign.

Did anyone know of this feature? Do any clients / any other servers
implement it?

How much of your regular internet-browsing has gopher replaced?

And putting commercial stuff to the side (shopping and banking) what are
you missing from the gopherverse in order to move the majority of your internet-activity there?

Best regards,
Daniel
