In the current cvs, viewing file /tmp/foo.html below goes into an
apparently endless delay=0 refresh loop, due to the <meta>.
(w3m-browse-url "file:///tmp/foo.html")
=>
Variable binding depth exceeds max-specpdl-size
Do this with w3m-browse-url, not w3m-find-file, as the latter is ok.
I struck this in recent google search results which seems to have such a
refresh. You can see the effect, most noticeable with lag :-),
(w3m-browse-url "gg:search query here")
=>
mucho dubious refreshing
I don't know if this is a bug, a feature, or some abuse on their part.
Dillo seems to suffer too, even though its changelog has something on
guarding against refresh loops (some time ago).
I turned off w3m-use-refresh but wondered if unlimited refresh is a good
default. Does it normally do good things?
Maybe people like more of der automated blinken lights than me. The
only sensible refresh I think I've ever seen is some weather bureau
pages, and even then I suspect I prefer update when I actually want.
But maybe that's personal preference which w3m-use-refresh is precisely
designed for. :-)
