Hello, I have a problem with elinks under Cygwin-X on Win2000 SP4. I didn't find anything about it on the list on in the bugzilla, so here I am. :)
When I load a url, elinks spends a long time looking up the hostname of the server: it will spend four or five seconds with the message 'Looking up host' in the status bar. When the page is eventually loaded it's rendered at a blistering speed, but the hang at the beginning is annoying. I normally call elinks from mutt using urlview, but it's reproducable outside of mutt, and happens on both ftp and http urls. I thought it might be a bug in 0.10.5, so I tried the 'current' CVS build. Makes no difference. This problem doesn't occur on my Linux (Mandriva 2005 LE) machine, so maybe it's Cygwin-specific. I'm not using a elinks.conf file, so I'm not using any settings that could be causing problems... unless I *should* be using some settings there? A bit about my system: $ uname -a CYGWIN_NT-5.0 octave 1.5.18(0.132/4/2) 2005-07-02 20:30 i686 unknown unknown Cygwin $ elinks -version ELinks 0.10.5.CVS (built on Sep 5 2005 00:53:40) Features: Standard, No Backtrace, gzip, bzip2, Cascading Style Sheets, Protocol (File, FTP, Gopher, HTTP, URI rewrite, User protocols), SSL (OpenSSL), MIME (Option system, Mailcap, Mimetypes files), LED indicators, Bookmarks, Cookies, Form History, Global History I run elinks under an rxvt terminal window, specifically rxvt v2.7.10. By the way, there's nothing wrong with my DNS server. I'm using a Safecom SAMR-4110 ADSL modem router as the server, but all that does is pass through requests to my ISP's DNS server -- which is working fine. I don't have this problem in any other program, just elinks. I've been trying the other lynx-derived browsers too. They don't have this problem, but I'd MUCH rather use elinks. :D Can anyone suggest what I might do to overcome this problem?
