Package: links-ssl
Version: 0.96.20020409-1
Severity: important
I'm not sure if this is a package issue or an upstream issue (probably
upstream).
I have a laptop named (among other things) viqsi.ath.cx. On the laptop,
this name is, in /etc/hosts, set to resolve to 127.0.0.1. Out in the
Real World, it resolves to whatever dyndns.org gets from me.
When I am online (and not behind something doing ipmasq or the like) I
can reach the webserver on my laptop easily via Links with this name.
When I am offline (or behind some kind of aforementioned something), the
name will fail to resolve.
My other web browsers (Opera and Mozilla) do not have this problem.

Thanks a lot for reminding me of these. Manuel A. Fernandez Montecelo
approached me a few weeks because of these, too, but back then I just
found time to work through a few of them.
I've now checked all the remaining ones. At least some of them are
duplicates of bugs against links or links2, others are fixed in
links/links2 in the meanwhile (those should be closed with this mail),
but many seem still present.

Here's my summary (Cc'ed to all mentioned bugs, some of them closed
via -done) of these bugs and what I did so far:
> #142934 links-ssl: links does not check /etc/hosts when resolving a domain
> name
No more present. Closing.
> #165714 links-ssl: links doesn't take into account http_proxy environment
> variable
Duplicate of #55425. Forcemerged.
> #109735 links-ssl 0.92 is sometimes so better than 0.96...
Maybe a duplicate of #509469. Contacting the reporter or the
commenters would likely be the sanes option. Haven't touched it yet.
> #163416 links-ssl: Internal error forces core dump
No more happens in Debian Squeeze. Closing.
> #139637 links-ssl: Erratic control behavior in xterm
Is tagged as unreproducible -> Asking the reporter (which is MIA) or
directly closing. Haven't touched it yet.
> #90849 Improper handling of relative URL
Still present. Reassigned.
> #145121 links-ssl: (e)Links keeps control of GPM when it isn't displaying.
No more present in Debian Unstable _and_ a duplicate of #108431 which
I can no more reproduce anymore in Unstable. Yay! Reassigned. Closing.
> #150960 links-ssl: No manpage for links.cfg
Still present in Unstable. Reassigned.
> #160336 links-ssl: menu and doc problems
Of 4 things mentioned in there, 1 is fixed (|), 1 is no more
applicable (h/y), 1 is still there (*) and with the fourth thing, I'm
not sure what he means. The "z" keybinding for "Go back in URL
history" is indeed still present in unstable. Reassigned and
retitled.
> #158967 links-ssl: codepages and language choices are a mystery to the user
Of 3 things mentioned in here, 2 are fixed (languages and codepages
are now a menu), and the third (blank on startup without parameter) is
still present, but likely a wontfix + upstream or such. Reassigned,
tagged and retitled.
> #203876 links-ssl: doesn't handle files with @ in name
Still present. The easiest workaround (and likely that upstream did
that on purpose), is to prepend "./". Reassigned and tagged as wontfix
as this looks like on purpose.
> #141383 links-ssl: Ability to spawn $EDITOR
Still present. Reassigned and tagged upstream.
> #144542 links-ssl: Link Numbering not consistent
Can't reproduce it anymore and according to the last mail a fix has
been committed upstream:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=144542#11
Closing.
> #148010 links doesn't do authorized redirection
Gah. That sounds like an ugly feature. Not sure what to do. That needs
a non-trivial setup to test. Reassigned. Will maybe test it somewhen
after the freeze.
> #148930 links-ssl: forms interface inconsistent with menu interface
Still present. Reassigned.
> #120539 links-ssl: Doesn't allow customization of colors
No more present. I just switched to yellow links in the terminal. ;-)
Closing.
> #90590 key to go to url based upon selected link would be handy
Still present. Reassigned.
> #140126 links-ssl: links can't use a proxy that needs authentification
Still present. Reassigned.
> #130582 Provide filename suffixes for viewers.
Clearly fixed. Closing.
> #138240 links can not hide hidden <link href="..."> tags
Still present. Example: /usr/share/doc/developers-reference/index.html
Reassigned.
(I hope none of the bug reporters minds this mass-bug-closing and
-replying. :-)
