I have just now compiled a 'new option' into core.exe We now have the option to "IgnoreBaseHref".
I'm sorry to say that I mistakenly deleted the email which pointed me in the direction of adding this option. :( So I can't remember now who was having the problems outlined below. Whoever it was will most likely make their presence know when they get a copy of this message via that mailing list. ;-) Be that as it may.... The problem exists at http://www.the-underdogs.org/ (and perhaps at other sites we don't know about yet) The way in which Arachne handles the <base href=".....> tag was preventing us from downloading any of their files. By enabling "IgnoreBaseHref" we can now download anything we need from 'The Underdogs'. This new option can be enabled and disabled on the newly modified 'Options/Internet Options' setup page. --- clipped from opt_net.ah --- <BR> <INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="IgnoreBaseHref" VALUE=No> <INPUT TYPE=CHECKBOX NAME="IgnoreBaseHref" VALUE=Yes ARACHNECHECKED="IgnoreBaseHref"> Ignore the "Base Href" tag. <BR> Turning this option on means that Arachne<br> will not use the "Base Href=" tag when it is encountered.<br> This feature is highly experimental and may cause<br> some sites to not load correctly.<br> <font size=4 color=red><b>Send all bug reports concerning<br> IgnoreBaseHref directly to..... <a href="mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]">Glenn McCorkle</b></font> </font> _______________________________ note: Core.exe will default to "No" on this option if the line 'IgnoreBaseHref Yes' is not found in Arachne.cfg note #2: One known problem exists. Since Insight.exe places uses this tag to reference us back to the correct file.... ignoring it prevents the correct "To" address from being placed into any reply or resend. Therefore, IgnoreBaseHref must be disabled before attempting to reply to any message in the inbox and before attempting to modify any that are in the outbox. ____________ Now for the most important part...... Michael, May I have your permission to distribute this new compile of core.exe to anyone who might want to 'Beta test' ? Since it was compiled with NOKEY.PRJ it is 'freeware'. (all 'features' are enabled and it is ARACHNE.KEY 'unaware') Since I am using it right now, the mailer line of this email shows....
