    <maml:description>
      <maml:para>The `Invoke-GopherRequest` cmdlet sends requests to a Gopher or Gopher+ server (with or without TLS). It parses the response and returns collections of links, images, and metadata; or, it can download files.</maml:para>
      <maml:para>This cmdlet will make the best guess as to what type of file you will be requesting (based on extension). However, it's recommended to supply the expected content type as part of the URI string. For example, "gopher://example.com/0/file.txt" as opposed to "gopher://example.com/file.txt".</maml:para>

            <maml:para>When using `-OutFile` to download text files, specifies the type of encoding for the target file.
