> * w3m's bookmark system is implemented using local CGI; it seems Dillo's bookmarks are implemented as a dpi plugin too. Yeah, a lot of things [1] are implemented as DPI in Dillo. Some of the plugins implement "websites" like file:, vsource: and ftp: but others implement other features like the handling of cookies, downloads or bookmarks. As they are a different process, if you close the browser, the downloads continue.

I guess DPI can do that too? (At least the custom man: scheme in dillo-plugin-man seems to indicate it can.) Yes, there is a file (~/.dillo/dpidrc) that associates the protocol to the plugin binary (like this "proto.man=man/man.filter.dpi"). There is also gemini: gopher: and even git: available as external plugins. > I had no idea any browser supported this besides w3m. I mostly imitated w3m's design in my own project (which includes the twist that support for every protocol, including HTTP, is implemented on top of a similar plugin system); I guess I have a second reference point now :) In fact, not so long ago, the HTTPS protocol was implemented as a DPI plugin, but it was changed to be part of the browser.
