[Seaside] Scamper vs. non-Squeak browser

[Nevin Pratt]

This reminds me of a difference I have noticed between the Netscape 
browser (7.0) and the Konquerer browser (3.0.3-13) on RedHat 8.0 Linux.

My machine ip is 192.168.0.8.   In /etc/hosts, I have:
   192.168.0.8    www.test.com

In the Netscape browser, when I type the URL:
   http://www.test.com
it connects to my local machine, as I expected.
This means that whatever means that Netscape uses for resolving domain 
names, it resolves from the /etc/hosts file first.

In contrast, under Konquerer, when I type the same URL, I get connected 
to the *real* www.test.com out on the internet.
This means that whatever means that Konquerer uses for resolving domain 
names, it does *not* resolve from the /etc/hosts file first.

It sounds to me like your problem might be something similar.  I.e., 
scamper has a different set of domain name resolution path priorities 
from the other browsers.

And, it is doubtful (in my opinion) that this has anything at all to do 
with Seaside.
