Re: Feature request: Server connection status message

Hello Alexander,

'Transferring ...' is already covered in the top right corner, where
there is a number of kilobytes that goes grey when transferring
finishes.

I wonder if the other things that you want could be retrofitted into
that box.  I wonder if the set should include:
- Parse  - parsing the URL and preparing to act on it
- DNS   - waiting for the DNS
- CONN  - waiting for a TCP connection to complete
- SEC  - waiting for a security handshake

Regards,
James.
