I’m familiar with Gopher, Gemini, and HTTP. Do any other similar protocols exist, or are these the only ones?

There is a smolnet protocol inventory:

There is also the Titan Protocol gemini://transjovian.org/titan/page/The%20Titan%20Specification port 1965, which is the upload side of the gemini protocol. So if you wanted to upload a large binary file, the Titan protocol would be how you do that.

There's Misfin protocol gemini://misfin.org/specification.gmi port 1958, which is a very basic client-server mail transport.

Finally there is the guppy protocol gemini://gemini.dimakrasner.com/guppy-v0.2.gmi port 6775, which is a very simple protocol mostly for running on microcontrollers and runs on UDP as opposed to TCP. So if you've ever used TFTP, you're not far from this protocol.

So there's a few for you. · 1 month ago

There's a couple of folks out there that accept finger requests port 72 https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc742. Here's an example: finger://graph.no/^NewYork_NY

There is the Spartan Protocol spartan://mozz.us/ port 300, which is basically a non-TLS version of gemini. · 1 month ago
