'''Gopher+''' is a forward compatible enhancement to the [[Request for Comments|RFC]] [ftp://ftp.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1436.txt 1436] [[Gopher (protocol)|Gopher protocol]]. Gopher+ works by sending [[metadata]] between the client and the server. The enhancement was never widely adopted by Gopher servers.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.network.gopher.general/2571 |access-date=3 February 2012 |title=Re: New Gopher server and client |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150310110257/http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.network.gopher.general/2571 |archive-date=10 March 2015 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.network.gopher.general/1814 |access-date=3 February 2012 |title=Re: Server Contact Information |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150310110252/http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.network.gopher.general/1814 |archive-date=10 March 2015 }}</ref>
