Scheme: scroll://
Port: 5699
Naming Theme: Libraries and Scrolls
The Scroll Protocol is a new document-retrieval protocol on port 5699, inspired by Gemini and Gopher+. One of its primary focuses is on quality-of-life additions, particularly internationalization. It adds more metadata to responses, the ability to request pages in a specific language, and a new metadata request, similar to Gopher+'s metadata request. It tries to offer a power-to-weight balance by providing basic metadata and relational data in documents with minimal effort and additions.
The additional metadata added to each response is the author, publish date, and modification date. Abstracts of resources are also provided with *metadata requests* only.
Request strings now include an additional parameter that allows the client to specify a list of desired languages. The server will respond with the document in one of the desired languages, or the default language if the requested languages are unavailabe. The language of the response is given in the mimetype.
