Thanks, everyone: I have been feeling the same way. Really, it does appear that way, does it not? I have been trying to popularize dillo everywhere, and I am only an end-user, but very frustrated at its lack of motion. Hopefully, dillo will move ahead, and in particular do things such as frame support, tabbed browsing, etc. (Apparently, several pactches were done, but it was never incorporated into dillo for reasons best known to the head developers.) What dillo seriously needs is to incorporate stuff whereby browsing becomes a good experience. It is no good if we have to use another browser even 20% of the time. There is too much overhead in keeping copies of different browsers and remembering their exact key-bindings. And frankly, this will also generate revenue for the project: is anyone seriously going to pay into a browser which will never be able to support frames, javascript, etc? There are a lot of people willing to contribute to dillo, it appears, and the main developers could/should use some of the talent. Clearly, one possibility is to fork dillo. Having vented, dillo is a fantastic browser, but needs to be able to do more stuff. I will use the patched RPMs that you provide.... Many thanks and best wishes! --- Madis Janson <madis@cyber.ee> wrote:

The patch there seems to contain updated version of the cache control patch.
i was surprised when i figured out that the current dillo code doesn't support any sort of "no cache" or "expires" facility.
it seems that this was done in 2003, in a patch referenced here:
http://lists.auriga.wearlab.de/pipermail/dillo-dev/2003-August/001039.html
i tried applying it, and resolving the (many) differences myself, but i seem to have botched it, because now some of my pages don't display at all. :-)
is there a more current version of this patch around? i think it's important functionality...
