Gopher+

Gopher+ is a forward compatible enhancement to the Gopher protocol. Gopher+ works by sending metadata between the client and the server. The enhancement was never widely adopted by Gopher servers.
How it works
The client sends a tab followed by a +. A Gopher+ server will respond with a status line followed by the content the client requested. An item is marked as supporting Gopher+ in the Gopher directory listing by a tab + after the port.

Other features of Gopher+ include:
* Item attributes, which can include the items
** Administrator
** Last date of modification
** Different views of the file, like PostScript or plain text, or different languages
** Abstract, or description of the item
