Heya. New here. Glad someone's working on Dillo. Hope it comes full-featured like Firefox is with less than half the bloat!
I'm attaching a fixed patch for 0.8.4 that allows meta-http refreshes. This is quite common with web chats (including Tag-Board). I've test-compiled and ran it, and so far so good.
The next thing we'll need is the frames/iframes code now!
I don't know about anyone else, but much of the reason I use dillo is because it does *not* do things like frames, meta-refresh, GIF animations, and Flash ads. It is very small, very fast, and implements useful browser functions without all the flashy cruft a lot of annoying sites use. If you want firefox, then use firefox. As for meta-refresh, I suppose it could be included without causing much trouble, on two conditions: It should retain its current "warn the user instead of refreshing" behavior, if the refresh goes to a different page. Also, it should let the user specify a minimum refresh time that the page cannot override. This would allow it to follow W3C standards, and not bother users. -- Scott
