Hello,
A user needs to support having gopher links in Org document:
[[gopher://some.gopher.site][Dummy gopher link]]
But the export fails saying that it's unable to resolve the link.
The behavior can be easily recreated by exporting a document containing
that dummy link using C-c C-e h H.
I added "gopher" to the org-html-link function, but that obviously didn't
help.
I traced the error to org-export-data in ox.el, but I cannot edebug that
function; I get:
edebug-syntax-error: Invalid read syntax: "Failed matching", (&rest
(&define name (&rest arg) cl-declarations-or-string def-body))
(I'll open an emacs bug for that.)
So what needs to be fixed in ox.el (or elsewhere?) so that gopher: protocol
links are allowed?
Thanks.

I don't think Org defines gopher links. Where is it registered? In
particular, what is the export function associated to the link type?
If you don't tell Org what it a gopher link, e.g., within
`org-link-parameters', Org considers your example above as a fuzzy link,
hence the error.

Looks like[1], gopher: links can behave the same way as https:, http:, etc.

Thanks. I'll ask the user to update that variable (or can that be updated
in the default value?).

Note that you cannot simply copy "http" or "https" types. As default
type links, they are hard-coded in every export back-end. It means they
do not have to set any :export property.
As a user, if you want to export a "gopher" link type, you need to
implement a function exporting it, and register it as the :export value.

Thank you.
This works.
(defun org-link-gopher-export-link (link desc format)
"Create export version of LINK and DESC to FORMAT."
(let ((link (concat "gopher:" link)))
(cond
((eq format 'html)
(format "<a href=\"%s\">%s</a>" link desc))
((eq format 'latex)
(format "\\href{%s}{%s}" link desc))
(t ;`ascii', `md', `hugo', etc.
(format "[%s](%s)" desc link)))))
(org-link-set-parameters "gopher" :export #'org-link-gopher-export-link)
