There has been talk on this very list, now and then, about giving a way for freesite authors to specify links that fproxy can automatically starting loading in the background. The idea has been billed as a way to reduce apparent load time of material in Freenet.
I found, just today (I may be behind the curve here), this: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/netlib/Link_Prefetching_FAQ.html and http://www.w3.org/TR/smil20/smil-content.html#ContentControlNS-PrefetchControl Mozilla 1.2b supports "prefetching". A little investigation reveals that this is a w3c-supported tag. This is the same idea as discussed above. Links are specified as <prefetch>, so that the browser can automatically load these linked resources and cache them, reducing load time if the user does decide to follow the link. It would seem to me that if this can be left up to the browser and freesite authors (vs. fproxy), all the better. Just a thought to register on the collective consciousness of The Devl. -Todd I think the DNS changes on hawk are messing with my ability to write to the freenetproject.org mailing lists, thus, I am consigned to using this email account, and having the below ad attached to my behind parts.
