Looks like Go to parent should be disabled on Gopher as the URL encodes the file type, and we cannot know the parent file type. It most likely will be a directory/list, but we cannot be safe about that
from kristall.
I think Gopher was intended to be very simple - Servers return either directory lists or "documents".
My attempt at being logical: A parent to a document would always be a text menu (directory list), unless the client is already at the "top" level of a server path.
Presumably the "connection closed" or timeout error is the old school way to know if there was anything at that address or not.
I will do more research on the protocol if that would be helpful.
I hope you'll reconsider disabling the "go to parent", unless disabling is a temporary solution, or the problem space is bigger than I understand. If you choose to disable it, perhaps convert this issue to a feature request?
I really like Kristall for its capabilities to handle gemini, gopher, and http(s). Haven't experimented with finger, but I like what I see very much in these other protocols. Thank you for all your work so far, and making it freely available.
