Such an "external program" already exists -- it's called wget. And if you wrote the dillo<->wget interface flexibly enough, you get https, ftp, and use of http proxies all for the price of one.
Why not have compile time options to include or not include both the built-in http protocol support, and the option to use wget. That way, anybody using Dillo in an embedded application who just needs http support can use the built-in support, but anybody requiring additional functionality can use wget. John.
