Package: w3m
Version: 0.3.1-3
Severity: wishlist
w3m doesn't appear to respect /etc/hosts entirely. It will respect
unqualified names, but not FQDN's.
For example,
if /etc/hosts looks like:
127.0.0.1 pacho
127.0.0.1 pacho.somedomain.com
And I try 'w3m http://pacho' then w3m attempts to contact 127.0.0.1
(without DNS lookup). If i try 'w3m http://pacho.somedomain.com' then
w3m tries to DNS lookup pacho.somedomain.com, fails, and tells me that
I've supplied an invalid URL.
FWIW, all text-mode web browsers on Debian that I've tried (lynx, links
and w3m) all seem to have this ``problem''.
Mozilla, on the other hand, respects the /etc/hosts entries.
