With other browsers, if I copy a URL that begins with www (i.e., no http://), I will get to the site; with some, I don't even need the www -- I can type simply "loc.gov" for instance, to be taken to the Library of Congress.
Doesn't Dillo already do this? If I create a new Dillo window, type imdb.com into the URL field and hit <Enter>, Dillo takes me to http://imdb.com . The same works for starurchin.org (my personal domain) and loc.gov too. These also work if I copy and paste the URL instead of typing it.
Can you give a specific example where Dillo does not work as you would like? Which version are you using?
I mis-spoke. Instead of "copy," I meant "click on." I have my newsreader and my mailers (even the remote one) set so that if I click on a URL in a message, they launch Dillo. If a message contains, for instance, "www.loc.gov," Dillo will launch and will show that in the URL field; but it won't open the site.
