Hmmm ... Someone (sorry, forgot the name ...) has suggested looking at the DOSLYNX source code to see how it "handles" this issue ... Another idea that has come to my mind - why not convert any long domain name (greater than 40 characters, AFAIK), into it's IP address? Then Arachne could access *any* URL, regardless of the domain name length (albeit a little unconventionally).
