I would tend to agree with that.
Adding full JS functionality to Arachne herself would make her too
fat to run under DOS. So that's out !
Adding SSL to Arachne may just be possible. However, it is beyond the
capability of any of US to do it. However, using a "helper" application
that is called by Arachne is the way to go. Some use Lynx, some use a
custom WGET, and I use Elinks - all called from within Arachne.
As for JS, I can already grab some "Arachne-invisible" navigation
links from within JS-infested web pages using NEmedia.

It wasn't exactly why I wrote it, but it comes as a bonus. There may be
other things that can be extracted from JS and given back to Arachne -
we'll have to wait and see.
There are already so many things that enhance Arachne as "add-ons"
(APMs) that she is not too far different from many other browsers already,
and no reason, that I can think of, that more couldn't be found or
written.
End of the line ????? Naahh !!!!!
