What can I say, I learned html in the 20th century back when there were more gopher servers than http servers. :-) Probably most of you are saying gopher what? ... gopher was kind of like a text only web server. The first web server I installed was dual gopher/http. You set up your pages in a funky way so that they could be server with either gopher or http protocols depending on what the client wanted.

Great job, Andrei. Yes, it looks really nice ... but there are a few loose ends to clean up like you say.
