Hello everyone,(And Happy Halloween for those who celebrate Halloween.)

This is my first time posting to this mailing list.

I implemented the Mercury Protocol as a Go library:

https://github.com/reiver/go-hg

This implementation includes both the client & server side of the MercuryProtocol.

For those familiar with the Go programming language — I tried to makepackage hg similar to Go's built-in "net/http" library. So that it wouldseem familiar; and thus hopefully easier to work with.

For me I prefer to separate out the TLS part from the server part. So, thisimplementation isn't an attempt to get rid of encryption, but instead a wayof dividing up the technology to make it easier to work with.

I was originally doing this in a Gemini Protocol Go implementation, andcalling the TLS-free version "naked Gemini". But when I started reading themailing list archive, and some of the gemlogs — still working through them— and noticed Mercury was the same thing, I created Go package hg.

Coincidentally, I was using TCP port 1961 for my "naked Gemini". I noticedsomeone else on the mailing list happened to pick that too. (Although fordifferent reasons that I did.)

Feedback is welcomed. If anyone has any questions, comments, or complaints,let me know.
