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'm the authoir of original patch. I developed it for 0.8.4 too reducing size of patch itself. I tried to talk with dillo author to evaluete if there was any chances to include it in the main branch but I didn't received any answer.
This is only my opinion, which may be wrong (I am only contributed few patches to Dillo), but I think the reason for no answer is that strict standards compliance is one of the goals of the Dillo project and the w3c html standard discourages the usage of meta tag for refresh. http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/global.html#idx-meta_data-2
