I think it should. `ffap' seems a bit odd in that it asks `Find file or URL'; since emacs' handling of URLs is dodgy at best, I think this is a mistake. -Miles -- P.S.

Well, I'm using the url library since around 3 years for various things and I was always happy with what it offered to me :). Several Emacs extensions use url and/or w3 to fetch information from the web (web based dictionary lookup tools come to mind, or things like weather-checkers). W3 displays most of the sanely-designed webpages I view daily. We all know it's not perfect, and could use alot of improvments, but it is far from unusable. In fact, I use it everyday! There was discussion about integrating url and w3 into the cvs HEAD of Emacs, and I remember the conclusion always was something like "it needs more work." Well, I as a user would say it is good for what I use it, and I think it would draw a bit more developer attention if it were in the standard codebase. Could we please figure out what exactly needs to be done before such an integration could happen? Not being very familiar with the codebase, reading the TODO files of url and w3 doesn't really help me there. -- CYa, Mario ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

Last time it came up it was decided to include URL right away, but I haven't seen anything yet. Are we still waiting for someone with shell access to the repository to create a symlink from emacs/lisp/url to url/lisp (as is done from emacs/src/regex.[ch] to gnulib/regex.[ch]) ?

If it is just a matter of putting the URL package into Emacs, I think we have decided we want that done now.
