The big question to me now is: can webfs already handle everything that a full-blown browser needs ? For example, https and certificates ? How can the necessary information be accessed at the right time, eg. for things like asking the user whether to accept some cert, etc. In longer terms, I'd also replace mozilla's handling of other protocols, eg. ftp, by an webfs implementation. What do you think about this ? cu -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt, metux IT service -- http://www.metux.de/ phone: +49 36207 519931 email: weigelt@metux.de mobile: +49 151 27565287 icq: 210169427 skype: nekrad666 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Embedded-Linux / Portierung / Opensource-QM / Verteilte Systeme ----------------------------------------------------------------------
