questions about eww

[Julien Cubizolles]

I recently tried eww, the new web-browser for Emacs and I'm not sure
everything works as it should in my case.

First, not all pictures are displayed. For example, on the wikipedia
page about kitten (example from thhe eww author at
http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no/2013/06/eww.html), I only have the link to
the first picture.

Also, the eww-buffer is not read-only : typing RETURN while not a link
inserts a newline in the text which is confusing. Is it the expected
behaviour ?

If the image source takes a lot of time, `url-queue' will give up on
fetching the images.  Does `g' (refresh) fetch the missing images?

It's the expected behaviour now, because we didn't really finish our
arguing about how to implement a buffer where most of the text is
read-only, but there are some bits that aren't.  But eventually it'll be
a read-only buffer, one way or the other...

With a better connection, I can finally see the kitten. It must have
been a time out problem as you suggested.

OK.
