Re: [Lynx-dev] the 'z' key
well you aren't going to stop lynx from waiting for the system resolver with ^G, but TG has his *own* system. If I'm not mistaken lynx just uses available system calls to stay small and fast and avoid reinventing the wheel. When I get stuck in lookup hell I either go to another tty for a few seconds or give up with ^C (this is nice inside pine when checking phishing type spam urls with lynx). | Stef - On Mon, 13 Jun 2005, Elimar Riesebieter wrote: On Sun, 12 Jun 2005 the mental interface of Thorsten Glaser told: I wonder... why cannot lynx simply stop with EVERYTHING if I hit 'z' repeatedly?

Stef Caunter dixit: well you aren't going to stop lynx from waiting for the system resolver with ^G Yup, and that's probably got a good reason. I do the ^C trick sometimes too (yeah, pine...). Doesn't meet CTRLG your needs? Didn't know it yet *blushes* thanks you two. //mirabile -- I believe no one can invent an algorithm. One just happens to hit upon it when God enlightens him.

[Lynx-dev] the 'z' key
I wonder... why cannot lynx simply stop with EVERYTHING if I hit 'z' repeatedly? I mean, DNS lookups may have their reasons, but if I am entering a website with various - redirections - bad html, use -trace to diagnose - invalid cookie path (automatic yes, in my config) and have activated that link by accident (yes, that happens), why cannot lynx stop if I hit 'zz'? It only starts stopping after the final page is being loaded, and still gets sometimes 3K, sometimes even 30K of the target page. This can take up to 15 seconds, with DNS lookups that fail even more. //mirabile -- I believe no one can invent an algorithm. One just happens to hit upon it when God enlightens him.
