Subject: Support for w3m text browser

Date: Wed, 9 Dec 2009 11:13:22 +0100

Package: apt-cacher-ng
Version: 0.4.2-1
Severity: wishlist

Hello:

When I don't have physical access to an equipment I usually use w3m as web 
browser. I've noticed that apt-cacher-ng web interface works with lynx but not 
with w3m and I was wondering if support for w3m was also possible.

I've tested this mainly with import action. Even the statistics and options 
page is better or worse rendered, yet usable, choosing the import button 
doesn't work.

Thanks.

It's not like there are special pages for w3m only, it gets the same
content that lynx and links would get (this browsers work well).

The real problem is: w3m apparently does not support "chunked" transfer
mode which is a "MUST" requirement in the current HTTP 1.1 spec.
