Summary: Domain name completion

Initial Comment:
Using Privoxy 3.0.3 on Windows 2000, Firefox 1.0.3.

Firefox alone allows me to type in web addresses into
the address bar and automagically attempts to find the
.com associated with it.  For example, I can type in
'google' (without the quotes, obviously) and get to
http://www.google.com.

With Privoxy installed and running, typing in solely
google I get the error message: "Your request for
http://google/  could not be fulfilled, because the
domain name google could not be resolved."

Is there a way to set up Privoxy to allow for domain
name completions?

Note that this issue is not cross-platform.  Using Mac
OS X 10.3.9, Safari (1.3?), and Privoxy 3.0.3, domain
name completion works as expected.

Privoxy isn't capable of passing the autocomplete-on-failure
functionality back to the browser.  Once Privoxy has
control, it's too late.

This is a neat workaround, though.  Add the following:

<!-- Privoxy Autocomplete workaround (begin) -->
<script type="text/javascript">
var host="@host@"
var pos=host.indexOf("www")
if (pos==-1)
{
window.location="http://www.@host@.com"
}

</script>
<!-- Privoxy Autocomplete workaround (end) -->

to your templates/no-such-domain and
templates/connect-failed files right below the  <body> tag.

(In case SF mangles the code... if you see &gt; and &lt;
thingies above, search/replace them with the greater-than
and less-than symbols, respectively.

Addendum:  Privoxy also fails on domain name completion using Firefox on OS X 10.3.9.
