Seeing a link to a gopher:// site and discovering that Safari in iOS still supports it made my day.

Alas, it's not a gopher:// link; gopher is just the name of the host. (Perhaps it also is a gopher server, or once was.)

It's running pygopherd

Exactly, that's how I stumbled upon this. PyGopherd has a very nice feature that supports serving gopher and http on the same port...

I might be missing something; isn't the machine named gopher but it is using HTTP to access it on port 70?

Unfortunately none of the current latest versions of top browse supports gopher afaik. Firefox dropped it at 3.6 (but still possible with OverbiteFF).

Edit: here's the gopher link for it gopher://gopher.quux.org/0/Humor%20and%20Fun/Microsoft_KSH.txt|/MBOX-MESSAGE/1
