For example, the following in bucktooth:

Info test blah blah blah

with no tabs whatsoever, is turned into an i-entry.  PyGopherd requires
something like this (F being the tab seperator):
iInfo test blah blah blahF

I think there may have been something else that seemed broken, but I'm
not sure...if I remember (I likely won't), I'll tell ya.

As an HTTP server.  For example, if you have an HTML link to /<file>, it
works fine using HTTP.  But, say you're browser supports gopher, and you
try the same link, there's no type specified, so it fails.  However, if
you change it to /0/<file> or whatever, it works with Gopher, but not
with HTTP.
