单词 | Gopher |
释义 | Gopher An early text-based browser developed at the University of Minnesota, where the Golden Gopher is the school mascot. As Gopher is designed to go for information as it tunnels through the Internet to dig for data, the name is a multi-layer pun. Gopher was developed as a user interface to ease access to server resources in educational institutions and quickly became a de facto standard. Gopher servers enable the user to access a directory of Gopher server sites, click the name of the server, browse its file resources on the basis of nested menus, and download files using the File Transfer Protocol (FTP). Gopher has been obsoleted by the World Wide Web (WWW), although a number of Gopher servers remain in service. See also browser, de facto, FTP, Internet, server, standard, and WWW. |
