I would think a trailing slash should indicate that the user knows what he's talking about - don't attempt completions then. Why does it make sense to assume a www. prefix and a .com suffix all the time? Maybe the "completion" (assuming the initial DNS lookup fails) should take the form of a list of all matching TLDs for the supplied partial name - which currently would mean about 200 DNS queries, unless there's some service you can request this from in one shot. (Which would be a neat idea - someone zings you with a partial name and you return a status code 300 with the list of options. I can imagine Google doing something like this and making it commercially feasible.) Inserting a default protocol (http://) when not supplied by the user is always handy though.

The name seraches should happen only after a failed DNS lookup. Otherwise if I try to acess a local host which is not a fqdn, I get the stupid browser trying to be smart and replacing http://mybox/ with www.mybox.com even if mybox exist.

That depends. You know what your missing! ;-) If it's just completion based on shortcuts, you don't need history. If you need it for something, take a look in history.c. > Any help/suggestions?

As a follow-up, I went back to Firefox's source code and found the lines in browser.js.

Adding this feature is not going to add much bloat to dillo, will it? IMO, it may make it more useful without adding significantly to the binary? I don;t know anything about .js files but while it appears that there is a step there which keeps history if needed, it is not important since that can be gotten rid of? Any help/suggestions?

The Location bar in Dillo is a simple GTK input. Just hook a keyboard event handler to it, keep a file record of typed urls and define the completion algorithm as you wish. Note that having a file record of visited URLs is privacy-sensitive. This is out of the main tree meanwhile, but a patch is easy to write and port. -- Cheers Jorge.-

Maybe we can submit it as an RFE? Such features would really help on a handheld and the like, IMO, since that would minimize unnecessary typing big time?

how does one do this in dillo?

by Globe Trotter

Hi, One of the most convenient features in Firefox (and that is why I continue using it more than dillo) is that if I type dillo and then Ctrl-Shift-Enter it fills in the www. and .org for me. Same also for .com and .net. How do I change the program in dillo to be able to do it? Is there a simple example which someone could dig up for me? Many thanks and best wishes!
