what you think it means
type
If the type field is present it refers to a MIME content type.
The result of the finger lookup should return data of this type.
Note that /'s must be escaped.
If type is ommited it defaults to text/plain but with one
difference: <UR?:xxx>'s found in the text stream should be
made selectable by WWW browsers. If this feature is not desired,
text/plain should be indicated explicitly.
user
The data for the finger lookup. Encoded NEWLINES are not permitted.
