Yes it runs CGI scripts. However, for various reasons I need to
reinvent this particular wheel :(

Interesting. What headers do you add?

That is what I'm assuming. Maybe I'm wrong? It could be useful, eg
if your firewall.proxy.server can't gateway to gopher, but you know
another.proxy on the network which does:
gopher://real.remote.host/gopherselector">http://firewall.proxy.server/http://another.proxy/gopher://real.remote.host/gopherselector
