Hi Thorben;
Thank you for your response.
Yes, I didn't make myself very clear unfortunately, and I realized that some time after having sent the email msg.
I did a diff of the supplied dillorc and my ~/.dillorc. The only line that differed was the extra line (copied http_proxy) that I had enabled with the correct URL for the proxy. What I provided in the email was the line that diff'd after it had been "sanitized".
I had an "Automatic proxy configuration URL" set up for mozilla originally which is different than a "Manual proxy configuration" (http://ip:port) syntax. I decided to change the way the proxy was configured in mozilla to the form needed by dillo. It works fine.
Dillo does not support those either, it needs the actual address and port of the proxy. as long as your dillo tries to dns resolve the host of the url you enter, it is for some reason NOT using a proxy at all.
Are you saying that dillo under a proxy expects the proxy server to do all dns resolution? If that's the case, then why is galeon, mozilla, konquorer, netscape and opera working correctly under the proxy where dillo does not? I'm using the same proxy for all the web browsers I just mentioned.
sorry, but: THIS IS HOW PROXY SERVERS WORK!
the browsr forwards the proxy the request "get me http://www.dillo.org/" (to be exact: GET http://www.dillo.org/ HTTP/1.0") and the proxy returns the page/image/resource, or a error.
Thanks, Ken
greetings, Thorben
Hi Thorben; If my proxy server refuses to resolve requests coming from the dillo web browser, it doesn't make any sense for it not to refuse requests from the mozilla web browser. The proxy settings are identical. One of them exists in the ~/.dillorc and the other exists in the mozilla advanced proxy setting preferences. So, it looks to me like dillo doesn't like my ~/.dillorc and isn't telling me that there's a problem. Mozilla works fine, dillo doesn't, the proxy settings are the same. Ken
