Re: "[#73] gopher over TLS (gophers) support"

In: s/Lagrange-Issues

I do not know of any kind of standardized DNS record for such a purpose. (Such a DNS record, if it is made, could be useful for purposes other than Gopher, too. It could be used to specify availability (and version, and possibly other details) of TLS with any protocol that supports it.)

Wouldn't that be checking the presence of a TLSA record?

Also, note that I've detected some clients will try to do tls when you specify gophers:// and prompt you if you want to do it without tls and fallback to non-tls.

I looked up TLSA record, and I believe that will work. (A browser could have an option, to use TLS for links between Gopher servers according to TLSA records.)

I found this whilst browsing gopher:

— Article talking about Secure Gopher

— Proposal about gophers://

I've noticed there's no support for gopher over TLS, so I think it's a good idea to make a issue here for it to be supported. I've been told it's just the same protocol with a layer of TLS on top.
