This sounds familiar - the error users are getting, is it:
---
The following error was encountered:
Unsupported request
This means that:
This request method is not supported for this protocol.
---
If so, then tell OVID to fix their "broken" (IMHO) HTML; our Library
has a "decorative" push button on a Web page that takes you to the ABS
Gopher server - via a "POST" request in a "fake form".
Result? A "POST" request for a "Gopher" item is sent through Squid, which
(IMHO) is correctly rejected (1.0.18).
Cheers..
