Gopher mirroring tool

[andres]

Hello all. Does anyone know some Gopher mirroring tool a
la "wget --mirror" does on HTTP(S)? I already tried
pavuk, but it misses some relative links.
I tried to mirror the whole archive from
gopher://mozz.us/1/funnybone, but it didn't
neither download the issues nor the yearly
items linked as Gopher directories.

The gopher protocol is simple enough you could probably build one
without too much effort. The perl modules LWP::Protocol::gopher and/or
URI::gopher might do a fair amount of the work. Python doesn't seem to
have much in the way of useful libraries to help.

I wrote a Python library called Pituophis
(https://github.com/dotcomboom/Pituophis) some time ago that would help
here.
Recursively parsing each 1-type menu, fetching all the 0-type items and
saving them shouldn't be too bad. I can write a small script for it if you'd
like.

Also this is my first newspost, sorry if I made a mistake..

I wrote a script:
https://gist.github.com/dotcomboom/1c216ea08da60d0f1c0810a33963b216

Should be able to put the starting menu url in the list and it'll download
it recursively.

I'm testing https://sr.ht/~lioploum/offpunk/ and its cache folder for
the similar usecase. I'd like to create personal "Internet Archive" for
several Gopherholes and publish it.

I wrote a gopher mirroring tool in Tcl.

I have only used it on Linux.
