Hi,
Sorry for the huge mail. :)
And most of it is rather interesting but way more than I know about software design and C :-)
# Add ftp support. It has.
Using wget for something as basic as ftp in a plugin isn't something that I would call ftp support. Dillo is not a graphical front end for wget, thus I do not think Dillo has ftp support. Wget has.
I made a prototype ftp plugin that is based on http://nbpfaus.net/~pfau/ftplib/ Did I post this to the list or only to Jorge ?!? Unfortunately, lately I have a hard time dedicating some quiet time to dillo, so it's still sitting there. But since I could do it, then almost anybody can :-)
(this is old problem of sharing a single resource among several clients).
An old problem that is solved long ago. Just use inter process communication, like file locks (you can unlock you know). Only what you need to add is an extra fstat to see if the file is edited, and if so, reload the cookies. No big deal if you ask me.
AFAIR, the problem is that dillo tries to keep cookies in memory and writes them to disk only when absolutely necesarry. It's a privacy issue.
(I wonder how many people wil read this 13K monster :)
Ok, so I went back and read more ;-) But I leave it to the core developers to comment on it. I only found two points I could comment on.
