Hi,

I'm thinking that there could be a problem with the new design someone
(coolo?) proposed for kio.
If I'm not wrong (and to put it simple), there's a daemon and it forks for
each kio command, isn't it ?
If so, there could be a problem with dial-up connections.
It seems that the resolv.conf file is only loaded by libresolv on startup
of the application (in this case, when the daemon is run, or perhaps when
the first kio_http child is forked, I don't know, but it doesn't matter). 

The problem is that kppp (and similar apps) change the contents of that file,
so it should re-read it after the change, but this cannot happen unless you
restart the application. 

Well, I should say that I don't know much about all this except for
what comes in the wwwoffle FAQ (question 3.2), so I may be completely
wrong with this.

Greetings,

Antonio.
