Every time I read the playstation2-linux lists I realise how very useful dillo will be when it gets just a little further.
Please elaborate a bit on this subject.
Well it's a lovely browser for that sort of machine (300MHz MIPS R5900 processor, 32MB of RAM), and I usually recommend anyone who is asking on the official site (www.playstation2-linux.com) to go get a copy in preference to, or at least along with, the gargantuan firefox. But it's a bit hard to have to tell a newbie that he won't actually be able to use dillo to post back to the same site he's reading from (needs SSL to post). They usually just go off and use firefox and s*d the disc thrashing! It doesn't need to be a very secure implementation (though I note and respect your reasoning here) - there was a patch available all though the 0.6 and 0.7 series which I think usually got implemented in the pre- compiled dillo downloads at the ps2 site... With the recent dropping in price of the ps2-linux kit, there are quite a few new-starters, who are trying to see what they can use on the net, and so a slightly-extended dillo would (IMHO) be very timely.
