Odd, I thought I'd mentioned http://www.dwheeler.com/browse/secure_browser.html in this bug, but evidently not. man implements the "Compatible Secure BROWSER Definition" from that page. It's about 50 lines of C, not counting an escape_shell() utility function. We could also go for the Alternative definition on the same page, which acknowledges that you probably need a helper script anyway to do the complicated Netscape/Mozilla stuff and ditches the % characters entirely. I don't have any strong feelings about which to use. Cheers, -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
