An update of fotemods.zip is available in:
http://www.slcc.edu/lynx/fote/patches/
1997-08-04
* Added protections against spoof attempts or denial of service attacks
via wrap arounds of port values at 65536. - FM
1997-08-03
* The IETF has indicated intent to adopt KW's "status 307" proposal for
dealing with the status 302 problems, so HTTP.c and HTAlert.c implement
that now. The 302 status is "General (temporary) Redirection" which
can be handled as 303 at the UA's discretion, so we do that in all cases,
rather than prompting the user whether to do that when the 302 is for
a POST submission. The 307 (and 305) for POST submissions invokes a
prompt whether to P)roceed or C)ancel, without the Use G)ET option.
The 301 is treated as permanent, normally, but for POST submissions
still is treated as temporary and invokes a prompt which includes the
Use G)ET option, because scripts written to empirical behavior may
still be expecting that (it's virtually never encountered in redirections
of POSTs, though, because the document containing the form typically
is redirected, so the user only sees the form if a local copy has been
made, and it would be best to C)ancel and get a new local copy of the
document from the correct http/https URL, to serve as a BASE for the
form's ACTION). - FM
* Changed the float built-in style sheet elements to int based on DW's,
KW's and BL's analyses that this improves performance without adverse
consequences. Note that this should be taken into account when/if
external style sheet support is added for page formatting (e.g., for
optimum handling by speech synthesizers and braille interfaces), beyond
the current emphasis on colorizing. - FM
1997-08-02
* The cookie pre-draft has been adopted as an IETF ID:
ftp://ds.internic.net/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-http-state-man-mec-03.txt
so the code for combining Set-Cookie and Set-Cookie2 headers has been
eliminated in LYCookie.c (see mods for 1997-07-31). - FM
1997-08-01
* Fixed typos in LYCookie.c. - FM
