# Gopher (RFC 1436) Web Proxy

gopherproxy is a Gopher (RFC 1436) Web Proxy that acts as a gateway into Gopherspace
by proxying standard Web HTTP requests to Gopher requests of the target server.

gopherproxy is a fork of https://github.com/prologic/gopherproxy.

Demo: https://gopher.feuerfuchs.dev/


## Requirements

- libvips: Fast on-demand thumbnail generation


## Installation
  
    $ go install git.feuerfuchs.dev/Feuerfuchs/gopherproxy/...


## Usage

```#!bash
$ gopherproxy
```

Then simply visit: http://localhost:8000/


## Development

For development, the following libraries and programs are required in addition
to the previously listed ones:

- **SASS (sassc):** Compiling SCSS to CSS
- **TypeScript (tsc):** Compiling TypeScript to JavaScript
- **UglifyJS (uglifyjs):** Minifying JavaScript
- **fonttools (pyftsubset):** Minifying fonts

Folder structure:

- **assets:** Compiled assets that will be embedded into the executable using packr
- **css:** SCSS source files
- **fonts:** Fonts that will be minified
- **js:** TypeScript source files

I recommend using a pre-commit hook that compiles all assets automatically:

```#!bash
#!/bin/sh

exec make build
git add -f assets
exit 0
```
