LYNX-DEV v2.7 pre-release update

[Foteos Macrides]

        Yet another update of the v2.7 pre-release is available in:

        http://www.slcc.edu/lynx/fote/

1997-02-12
* Fixed some problems associated in the code for using a hookless Lynx
  image with snew_proxy, snewspost_proxy, and snewsreply_proxy set to
  "nntp://host:port/"; so that it uses Tom Zerucha's (address@hidden)
  daemon which handles the SSL communications on behalf of the Lynx
  image.  Also polished up all of the news gateway code, and added
  comments for the benefit of new developers. - FM
* Added an ECGOTO command mapped by default to 'G', complementary to the
  GOTO command (default 'g'), to edit the current document's URL and then
  go to it.  Using case-sensitive letters with different command definitions
  ensures that both will appear with their brief explanations in the 'k'eymap
  listing.  For ECGOTO, Control-G, failure to modify the URL, or complete
  deletion of it, all act as a cancel.  If the current document has POST
  content associated with it, a warning will be issued before offering the
  URL to edit.  The POST content is retained if the modification merely
  involves a change in fragment for the URL.  Otherwise, the modified URL
  (if it has an http scheme) will be submitted with method GET and no POST
  content.  If the ECGOTO command is not cancelled, or not simply a fragment
  change, the modified URL will be added to the 'g'oto buffer, and can be
  re-accessed, to edit further, via the GOTO command.  See the updated online
  'h'elp for more information. - FM
