Default domain on VRPC
NetSurf is working well on VirtualRPC-SA except for one annoying aspect. DNS lookups fail unless the full server URL is used. So http://wiki/ says not found whilst http://wiki.ant.co.uk/ is fine. Now, VRPC of course uses the WindowsXP network stack and that has ant.co.uk defined as a default domain and other RISC OS browsers such as Fresco and Oregano both work OK in the same VRPC environment. So what is NetSurf missing? Presumably its getting the first DNS lookup failure and then giving up instead of trying to add the default domain? Bug, or feature request? Ta. Mike

I may have been mistaken by the Fontscan that appears when Netsurf is being loaded, Font scan comes up but of course its not a full scan compared as to when the cache file isn't there. If I remove the file I get the full font scan. Thanks Phil -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Probably a feature request; I'm not sure we've ever claimed support for default domain lookups. Presumably, it's an issue with the way we're performing DNS lookups (NetSurf doesn't use the RISC OS Resolver module as the fetcher library we use has its own resolver). John.
