thanks for pointing that out. i think under these circumstances i will
try to avoid loading a site with the default browser. my idea was to
present an html input form where the gamer could add a picture and some
greetings to his highscore.
but now i will try to upload the picture with curl. seems that this
would be the much more portable way.
