The new HTML services should already make it into 4.1. The support will be more than just "basic", and will include things like XHTML, XML, JavaScript, CSS and DOM.


That sounds cool.  I was looking into using XML in a project I'm working on, what kind of XML support will there be for programmers? Will there be things to help with syntax checking?

It can. But only if the other end suppports resume.

First of all, IE almost never does that properly, so resuming files is notoriously unreliable.  Second, you can't save a partially downloaded file like you can with a real download manager, so there's no way to MAKE it work reliably, or even work with a partial download (which can be better than nothing).

The real kicker is, the Mac version of IE comes with a download manager, while the PC doesn't.  Explain that, Microsoft.


The Mac version of IE is crud, Sure, it has a download manager, but it's next to useless, and will not resume unless it's an FTP file.

I don't honestly get what you are going on about.  I'm here, at the weekend I was listening to the MP3s from amiwest and am on Dialup here with 2 hour cut-outs.  When I lost the connection I just had to reconnect and IE 6 would resume OK.  I could even listen to the file as I was downloading it.

If indeed it is based on KHTML or more specifically Apple's webobjects I'll be a happy bunny.

I love safari, it's a fast, compact, yet fully standards compatible browser.  I can't believe I ever used IE or Moz.

My only concern is the same when adding technologies from elsewhere into AOS, is will this be implemented in the Amiga way, or will we start having to use /etc drawers and be editing textfile after textfile.
