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. :-)
