Mosaic Version 2.6
Version 2.6 includes the following changes from version 2.5:
Improvements
- Inline JPEGs are supported.
- mailto URLs are supported.
- Improved Usenet support, including threaded newsgroup listings and
article posting.
- Common Client Interface now supports POST to server,
SEND BROWSERVIEW and QUIT browser protocol functionality.
- PostScript printing and saving optionally includes URL and page number as
page header.
- Minimal group annotation support. Set the
annotationServer
resource to the URL of your CGI annotation server.
- The URL text field is now editable. Pressing Enter within
the text field causes Mosaic to open the displayed URL.
- Load to local disk can now be activated on a one-time basis by
holding down the shift key while clicking on a hyperlink.
- HTTP header Referer now contains a document's parent URL
(for hyperlinks that are clicked-on with the mouse pointer,
only). NCSA httpd 1.4 can log the Referer field.
- HTTP header User-Agent now uses a slightly different
format, for consistency with other platforms:
User-Agent: NCSA_Mosaic/2.6 (X11; SunOS 4.1.3 sun4m) libwww/2.12 modified
- resource *maxNumCCIConnect added to restrict number of cci clients communicating with the browser.
- comment card for user survey introduced in this version.
- Added additional entity support
- On reload, added support for a cache proxy. If resource reloadPragmaNoCache is set, Mosaic will send an additional header notifying proxy not to use cache.
- Added support for older NNTP servers.
- Code has been Saber tested.
