Having spun up Port70 as a support library for my effort to add gopher support to Rogallo, the next thing I needed was some code to parse the "gopher map" responses that you get back from Gopher servers. While this could have been some code in Rogallo itself, much like with Gemtext, it seemed sensible to put it in its own library so it could be useful elsewhere.
So... GopherMap v0.1.0 is a thing. Its main provision is a class called GopherMap, which is used to parse some text you give it. Its items property is then a tuple of GopherItem objects. Each one of those objects has a type property which can be used to check the type of the resource.
Because Rogallo heavily relies on MIME types to make decisions about what to do with content, each ItemType has a best-efforts-guess mime_type associated with it. This will make it pretty straightforward for me to decide if a resource from a Gopher server is something Rogallo can display.
All of this has prompted me to have a go at creating my own little Gopher site to help with testing. As with my wee Gemini capsule, this is all thanks to tilde.team.
