If you receive a message saying that the requested url +doesn't exist (for a cgi), a simple reload of the previous page +solves it! i.e. a single reload of the three links in Dbugtrack +will solve the problem forever. + +Unfortunately, dillo does not perform end-to-end reload +(BUG-64), so you'll need lynx or anyother to do the reloads. Once +this is done you can keep using dillo. + +BTW: Bug-64 is very easy to hack-fix (a few sprinkled lines), +but the plan is to fix the URL data-passing scheme with a view to +have the required basis to solve a bunch of related problems +(We are working with Livio on it). + + +Jorge.- + + + +RE: [Dillo-dev]jcid's nettaxi email account + +From: Sean 'Shaleh' Perry <shaleh@vi...> - 2001-01-09 04:02 + +On 08-Jan-2001 Jorge Arellano Cid wrote: +> +> Hi, +> +> Unfortunately jcid*nettaxi.com seems to be down since the +> first day of 2001; I can send but not receive any email there, if +> anyone has sent me some emails this year, please resend them to +> my jcid*ematic.com address. +> +> I'll appreciate it very much because one of the things I +> really dislike is to loose email, and appear as I'm the one that +> doesn't answer them. +> + +I can hear the list and you just fine. + + + +[Dillo-dev]jcid's nettaxi email account + +From: Jorge Arellano Cid <jcid@em...> - 2001-01-09 00:57 + +Hi, + +Unfortunately jcid*nettaxi.com seems to be down since the +first day of 2001; I can send but not receive any email there, if +anyone has sent me some emails this year, please resend them to +my jcid*ematic.com address. + +I'll appreciate it very much because one of the things I +really dislike is to loose email, and appear as I'm the one that +doesn't answer them. + + +Thank you very much. +Jorge.- + + + +[Dillo-dev]First post? + +From: Jorge Arellano Cid <jcid@ne...> - 2001-01-08 18:10 + +Hi there! + + +I hope you had enjoyed your Christmas and New year festivities. +For those of us that remeain tuned (not on vacation yet), I would +like to remind that dillo-0.3.1 was released and that its ready +for download at the regular place. + +Well, it seems that this 2001 year has troubled computers a bit +more than the so publicited Y2k.
