The patch Erm… there is‽ The browser needs to resolve hostnames, and if a proxy is used there should be the option to let the proxy do that. In the case of Tor this is needed for both functionality (their extra TLD) and anonymity. >uses the RFC standardized way of passing the hostname we want to >connect to for real to the SOCKS5 proxy, it will perform the DNS >lookup for us, and report it back.

And if that’s given as numeric v4/v6 address, even that is elided, I assume. bye, //mirabilos -- 18:47⎜<mirabilos:#!/bin/mksh> well channels… you see, I see everything in the same window anyway 18:48⎜<xpt:#!/bin/mksh> i know, you have some kind of telnet with automatic pong 18:48⎜<mirabilos:#!/bin/mksh> haha, yes :D 18:49⎜<mirabilos:#!/bin/mksh> though that's more tinyirc – sirc is more comfy _______________________________________________ Lynx-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lynx-dev
