  • REQ: Allow adding a "welcome" message to gopher service.

    From Nigel Reed@1:103/705 to GitLab issue in main/sbbs on Monday, June 23, 2025 09:47:08
    open https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/issues/946

    I would like to add a custom welcome message or status message when users first connect to the gopher service index page. Please add the ability to add files that'll be displayed.

    An example might be something like

    gopher.welcome.001.msg
    gopher.status.002.msg

    The first part identifies it as a gopher file. The 2nd is just a human readable label for what the file is, and the 3rd is a sequential number, similar to how login works.

    It's been a long time since if I read a Gopher protocol spec (yuck!) or done anything with this service, but this change looks like it does what you asked. Let me know and close if satisified.

    I have verified this is working as expected, at least for one file. I'm happy to close this out. Thank you.
