[Lynx-dev] the 'z' key

2005-06-12 Thread Thorsten Glaser
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.

other than being more complicated and slower?
