Hello Dillo maintainer people, If I set out to write this patch, the first version will be painful. Do you want the change? Do you want to hand-hold me through writing it? Regards, James.

Hi James,
'Transferring ...' is already covered in the top right corner, where there is a number of kilobytes that goes grey when transferring finishes.
ah, you are right, I was not aware of that.
I wonder if the other things that you want could be retrofitted into that box. I wonder if the set should include: - Parse - parsing the URL and preparing to act on it - DNS - waiting for the DNS - CONN - waiting for a TCP connection to complete - SEC - waiting for a security handshake
Yes, that would be great! It would make even more transparent what Dillo does in the background.
Best regards, Alex

since the bug tracker is down, please let me propose a new feature over the mailing list.
From time to time I am in places with a very bad internet connection. when I surf with Dillo and click on a link it appears that nothing happens, except that the link color has changed. Then I'm usually wondering what's going on now. Did I really click the link? Has the server has been found? Is the server responding very slowly? Does Dillo receive data from it? Or is my connection dead?
To avoid this confusion, I'd like to propose a status message which is displayed in the status bar at the very bottom of the Dillo window. The message could say what is currently been done. For example, Firefox says
"Looking up www.example.de" "Waiting for www.example.de" "Transferring data from www.example.de"
Many thanks and best regards, Alex
