Thank you very much for the implementation of my suggestion AMAYA_USER_HOME I use it under Linux and Windows 95/98/NT/XP and can use Amaya from an read only share with a preconfigured user directory on that share; thanks again. Now I have a much bigger suggestion (and I don't expect that you can implement it very easy). First of all there are http frontends which provide that functionalty (Netscape 4.77 does); so my suggestion is no complete nonsense. And my suggestion is: Change the http-authentication dialog from: /-------------------------------------------------------- | Authentication Dialogue +-------------------------------------------------------- | Please Authenticate for realm ..... at server ..... | | Name: | | _______________________________________ | | Password: | | ________________________________________ | | [Confirm] [Cancel] | \-------------------------------------------------------- to /-------------------------------------------------------- | Authentication Dialogue +-------------------------------------------------------- | Please Authenticate for realm ..... at server ..... | | Name: | | _______________________________________ | | Password: | | ________________________________________ | | / | | | | HTML-Response from PUT command | | | | | \ | | [Confirm] [Cancel] [Close] \-------------------------------------------------------- where "HTML-Response from PUT command" is a regular browser window (perhaps without menu, buttons and location bar), but with working link-anchors. This allowes more specific error messages for the http-put server (perhaps not apache, my my personal http-server). To keep the HTML-Response visible the dialog has to stay open, therefor the addtional [Close]-Button. Kind Regards mle PS: A perhaps much simpler implemention for the display of the "HTML-Response from PUT command" is: /-------------------------------------------------------- | Authentication Dialogue +-------------------------------------------------------- | Please Authenticate for realm ..... at server ..... | | Name: | | _______________________________________ | | Password: | | ________________________________________ | | [Confirm] [Confirm and Show Http-PUT-response] [Cancel] \-------------------------------------------------------- Where the button [Confirm and Show Http-PUT-response] opens a complete regular Amaya Window with the "Http-PUT-response", this window may hold a Amaya generated message "No HTML-Response from PUT-command" -- Markus Maier Homepage: http://www.neze.de
