Encoding

RFC 1436 defines ASCII as the encoding used by the gopher protocol, but this seems to be outdated by now. Being a modern client, gophish supports two supersets of the ASCII encoding:

• UTF-8 (preferred)
• Latin-1

When first contacting a server, gophish will send a UTF-8 encoded selector. This should be no problem, as long as the server is not using non-ASCII characters in selectors (which is a bad idea anyway).

gophish tries to decode the data retrieved from the server using UTF-8 and if that fails, it falls back to Latin-1. Once gophish had to fall back to Latin-1, the server is marked as being Latin-1 encoded internally and all following communication, including the selectors, will be encoded in Latin-1.
