HAPPYGOPHER

HappyGopher is a small static Gopher server written in C# and .NET 10.

It began as an experiment in implementing the Gopher protocol and
eventually became the server powering this site.

HappyGopher deliberately avoids web frameworks, databases, and other
machinery that a static Gopher server does not need. At its core, it is
a TCP listener, a content directory, and a small amount of protocol
handling.

Automatic directory listings
