Component body

Drupher allows you to serve Drupal content (only nodes, currently) via the Gopher protocol.

Getting Drupher set up is not for the weak. You will need to be using a Unix- or Linux-based server (Mac OS X included), and you will probably need root-level access to the server (so no shared hosting). You will need to run a PHP script under a superdaemon such as inetd or launchd; please take note of the security implications of that fact. If this paragraph doesn't make any sense to you, sorry, but please just give up now.

For a demonstration of Drupher at work, fire up your Gopher client of choice (you have one, right?) and head to: gopher://drupher.abweb.us (copy and paste that text; clicking on the link won't work because Drupal.org's input filter is mangling it).
