Subject: Support for broken url handling in clients.
X-Git-Url: https://thelambdalab.xyz/gitweb/index.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d7925f64bd746c0cdb935654a335a9c8443dd422;p=scratchy.git

Support for broken url handling in clients.

Some clients (looking at you, Lynx) actually try to treat the
directory entry for http links as a gopher link instead of going
straight to the provided url.  This update adds a text response that
instructs users of these clients on what to do in this situation.
