I don't want to raise anyones expectations. I have this ( what I have done so far ) running smoothly on
Classic, System 6.0.8, MacTCP 2.0.6.
it is compiled with THINK C 5.0, project included.
When I compile it with latest MPW, it does run on System 9.
This is not for the faint hearted, it's for the curious and the helpful!
TetrisMaster512 claims he is getting unimplemented traps. Can people post bug reports directly here? May I suggest people install MacsBugs, it may give some clues to the errors.
Ironing out bugs early is more important than continuing adding the features.

Road map:
1. sort out this trapping issue.
2. get basic text shown in correct window pane
3. get formatted text shown
4. get stylings (bold, italics etc) correct
5. embedded URL links
6. embedded graphics
7. tables, lists etc
8. buttons
9. edit fields and forms
10. cookies
So there is still quite a bit to do.

Wow. Seems to work pretty well!
I tried on a SE under french System 6.0.8, MacTCP 2.0.6. It's connected via a serial cable to a PB 1400 with IPNetRouter running, which itself is wired to my ethernet router.
What I get on the SE is first a "302 Found" page, then a window with a page title (68k Macintosh Liberation Army Forums, for instance
). There's a debugger window underneath which shows what's being downloaded.
Haven't had time to check further as it's christmas eve and I've still some stuff to buy for tonight's meal… porter, thanks a lot for that encouraging present!

That is encouraging. Effectively that is a similar setup to mine. There is a big difference between MacTCP 1 and MacTCP 2.
It would be nice to know what the trap was, I'd like it to be able to view local files if MacTCP does not work.
Look under the File menu for File->Open... ! It should be able to open local GIFs at the moment.
