Summary: More efficient auto-completion

Initial Comment:
With privoxy active, browsers built-in "smart" handling
of erroneous addresses (well, broken DNS-entries
actually), typically by adding www at the beginning of
addresses breaks.

One workaround is to insert some code like this into
the no-such-domain template:

<script type="text/javascript">
var host = "@host@"
if (host.match("\.com$")||
	host.match("\.co.uk$")||	
	host.match("\.net$")||
	host.match("\.org$")||
	host.match("\.se$")||
	host.match("\.nu$"))
{
    if (host.match("^[^(www\.)]"))
    {
        window.location = "http://www.@host@@path@"
    }
}
else
{
        window.location = "http://@host@.com@path@"
}
</script>

However, as you can see it quickly adds up if I want to
match many domains. Any smarter way to match all TLD
than adding one line for each?

I tried to change this to a more generic regular expression:

host.match("\.\w{2,4}$")

but it doesn't work/match, at least not for http://su.se. Anyone knows why? Could it be written in a more exact and/or efficient way?

(BTW, are there TLD that consists of more than four letters (.info)? .travel? .museum?)


Unfortunately I am Java-guy, not a C-guy. I can read C and I can write C-apps that leaks memory and seg faults;-)



Another question, I tried to use the filter feedback system but got an No such domain error. Is this just temporary or is it down permanently? If the latter is the case I might be able to host the feedback system if you are interested.

Don't know but certainly an easy and interesting work around
to an old problem. BTW, we are looking for people to help
get the project moving again, in case you have an interest,
and the time to help.
