I would like to see options in the preferences of Safari, NetNewsWire and other WebKit apps for the following:
• Defining your own Accept* HTTP headers. Please just give me a set of text fields so I can write my own headers! Especially Accept- Language, that's the most important—my system language is set to British English, yet Safari sends out requests with "en-us". :-/
Aside from the general feature you propose, your specific example sounds like a bug. I'd encourage you to report it at bugzilla.opendarwin.org, since a fix would benefit 1000x the people who would know how to customize their HTTP headers.
• Ability to set 1pt to 1/72 inches, and read the screen DPI for digital devices. Unless the screen can report it's own DPI, whis will probably require a large lookup table with Apple and other manufacturers' displays enumerated. (FontBook has something similar for converting copyright strings into publishers' names). This would be a preference in the apps that use WebKit, and you can default to off if you want, but I need the sanity of a HTML client that will display a 10cm line at 10cm on screen, in print, in braille, on a TV, on a phone, wherever.
I think it's a worthy problem, but when Apple tackles it (and it must be coming up, as monitors keep developing), I hope they do it at a system level instead of just in WebKit. It's an unappealing prospect to me to wind up with an effective zoom factor for web content, but not PDF and text content in all the non-WebKit apps I use. trey
Is there anyone else that would welcome these abilities?
