According  to the source of gopher(1) it is assuming Gopher+, if no path
is given. Only if a path is given, then the flag for Gopher+ isn’t  set.
The  gopher plus flag will always first read the Gopher+ header. If that
cannot be received it aborts.

Either  gopher(1)  is patched to first assume plain gopher or all gopher
servers move to Gopher+.


Sincerely,

Christoph Lohmann
