Dear friends of the Dillo project: First let me say that I think that Dillo is a great project. It is is important to have a truly free web-browser, that is light-weighted and fast (I test is over a telephone conection to the internet (PPP) at it was great, much faster and stable that Netscape =) The most important thing that dillo is lacking (for me), is https and ftp support. I would love to help to implement https, but I'm not an expert programmer (even do I have contributed with patches to some free software projects). I don't know how should I use the open-ssl library to implement https. I've seen that the Lynx (text-mode) web-browser supports https. It uses a www library from the CERN and W3c , this library provides an implementation of all the internet protocols. http://www.w3.org/Library/ Lynx is GPL-ed software as well, so I suggest that you might avoid reinventing the wheel and use this library for doing the networking. This would be taking advantage of the free software concept. Besides that, you don't have to care about bugs in the networking layer =) Pablo De Napoli (from Argentina) pd...@ya... __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
