Well, I'm not so sure. It seems that the browser writers are so busy
that they can barely consider bug fix patches never mind extra feature
patches. Experience suggests that you'd better convince them to
add the feature before you implement it. But in the spirit of
optimism, I include here:
Status: patches to Mosaic 2.4 for X (2 diffs)
Status: patches to Lynx 2.2 (2 diffs)
A nph- CGI script to test Status: extensions which can be called
at http://www.cs.ubc.ca/test-status
The patches are trivial. First make HTMIME.c check for "Status:" header
lines and call HTProgress() with their contents. Then do the "bytes read"
call in HTCopy() before you pass the data on down the stream so
the "Status:" lines will override the "bytes read" messages.
