Thanks, Fote, for incorporating my mods into your fotemods. I presume that
in due course they will fall through into the next released version.
Having compared what you did against what I submitted, I have just a few
very minor comments. In order of priority they are:
1. In HTTP.c you have:
if (TRACE)
fprintf(stderr,
(using_proxy ?
"HTTP: Sending proxy authorization (yet).\n" :
"HTTP: Not sending authorization (yet).\n"));
I believe the message should be:
"HTTP: Not sending proxy authorization (yet).\n"
^^^
2. In HTAABrow.c, I had changed the final alert message from:
"Access without authorization denied -- retrying"
to:
"Access authentication required -- retrying"
which was then consistent with the equivalent proxy alert:
"Proxy authentication required -- retrying"
This was really just to remove the double negative and make the message
slightly more comprehensible when it flashes up for a second or so.
It would be nice if both messages were consistent, as they often come up
in succession (at least for me when I fire up lynx to access a particular
protected website). If you prefer your version of the message (maybe
American semantics are different to British?), perhaps the proxy alert
message should change to:
"Access without proxy authorization denied -- retrying"
But, I must admit, I prefer my versions!
3. Both files have header comments giving revision history, and I had
included in my submission some suitably short citation. By their
non-appearance in your version do I take it that my (rather pathetic)
bid for immortality has failed?
Alex.
PS: should alerts, messages and comments refer to
"authentication" or "authorization"?
