Possibly not relevant, but I've never managed to get c-ares working on AmigaOS either. It has been a while, but IIRC it just failed to resolve anything, so similar symptoms. I've always used Curl's internal resolver (and more recently, the threaded version of the same), which works perfectly. Perhaps we could make a test build of NetSurf which uses the internal threaded resolver instead of c-ares, to see if that works? Chris
