One of the most convenient features in Firefox (and that is why I continue using it more than dillo) is that if I type dillo and then Ctrl-Shift-Enter it fills in the www. and .org for me. Same also for .com and .net. How do I change the program in dillo to be able to do it?

This feature is most inconvenient when done wrong though. The name seraches should happen only after a failed DNS lookup. Otherwise if I try to acess a local host which is not a fqdn, I get the stupid browser trying to be smart and replacing http://mybox/ with www.mybox.com even if mybox exist. And now lately, almost everything you type has a domain for sale, so it is really boring.

I would think a trailing slash should indicate that the user knows what he's talking about - don't attempt completions then. Why does it make sense to assume a www. prefix and a .com suffix all the time? Maybe the "completion" (assuming the initial DNS lookup fails) should take the form of a list of all matching TLDs for the supplied partial name - which currently would mean about 200 DNS queries, unless there's some service you can request this from in one shot. (Which would be a neat idea - someone zings you with a partial name and you return a status code 300 with the list of options. I can imagine Google doing something like this and making it commercially feasible.) Inserting a default protocol (http://) when not supplied by the user is always handy though.
